Apple Unveils First Third-Party Films In Apple Immersive
Oura Surpasses $10B Valuation
Oura vs. Apple Watch
Hello everyone. We are going to keep running forward with some Apple Vision Pro news. While the goal was to get this update out late on Tuesday, it was held back until morning to look at some new Apple Immersive Video with fresh eyes. Our attention will then turn to Oura, the smart ring maker. The company is raising $875M at a $10.9B valuation. We take a closer look at how Oura compares to Apple Watch.
Let’s go.

Oura Talks Smart Ring Financials, Smart Ring Hesitation, The Button’s Resurgence in Tech
Welcome to October. We will kick off a new month by discussing Oura and smart rings.
We haven't talked much about smart rings in these daily updates. The most recent discussion was found in the February 27th update (Samsung's Galaxy Ring and sketchy Apple smart ring rumors).
We will conclude today's update with an interesting story on what feels like the button's resurgence in tech.
Let's jump in.
