## Availability

_Status: shipping-now_

RingConn is shipping and consumer-available (Gen 2, Gen 2 Air; Gen 3 arriving late May 2026). From RingConn (Shenzhen). On the smart-ring patent front, it settled and licensed cleanly in the ITC litigation and was not import-banned.

## Status

RingConn is the subscription-free archetype of the biometric ring sub-cohort: all standard features free for life. Its sensors (PPG, skin temperature, SpO2, accelerometer) drive sleep, heart rate and HRV, and a deep-learning sleep-apnea / AHI screening feature, with 10-to-12-day battery (charging case to about 150 days). The verified-vs-claimed throughline: the sleep-apnea / AHI feature is a company-claimed screening capability (RingConn cites about 90.7% accuracy) that is NOT FDA-cleared; RingConn's own materials say it is 'actively pursuing clearance' and 'not intended to diagnose'. DEPLOY records that claim as claimed, not cleared, the direct counterpoint to the genuinely-cleared Happy Ring in the same form factor.
