How a Hong Kong Startup will excel with Apple’s recent Keynote
In the recent release by Apple of what’s to come next, there’s something more intriguing than just iPhone X’s retail price. What’s intriguing is the Apple Watch’s new feature.
Apple new Apple Watch Series 3
The Apple Watch no longer has to pair with an iPhone to be compatible for normal phone functions: it can now support its own mobile plans by making calls, sending text messages, or going online.
One company that can benefit the most from Apple’s announcement is Orii.
Orii - The Voice Powered Smart Ring
Orii is a company that produces rings that uses bone conduction technology to connect to your smartphone allowing hearing and talking through your finger. Orii has already gained traction by exceeding its kick starting goal ten folds and receiving investments from celebrities such as R&B icon T-Pain.
How does Orii benefit from the Apple Watch’s new feature? Essentially, apple watch, like other watches, is an accessory attracting two types of people, the trend setters and tech lovers. For the trendy people, Orii adds on a ring accessory on to the fingers to add onto the Apple Watch on the wrist. For the tech people, Orii now provides you a way to talk through your new Apple Watch.
With its created value from use and fashion, Orii is a real competitor to apple pods or other blue tooth devices with its cheap price of $130.
Will The Trend Catch On?
Do you think Orii will continue to thrive with Apple’s new announcement or do you think it will not affect them at all? Do you think Apple could potentially acquire Orii or a similar company or will Apple release new products/modify existing products to fit the new watch’s needs?
