Bloomberg News says that Apple has stopped working on the project, which was called "Mulberry," in the last several weeks. The firm now plans to add some of the capabilities it had planned to the Health app in stages. The Health app is now the main part of Apple's health and fitness ecosystem.
The move comes at a time when competition is getting tougher in the AI-driven wellness sector, where big tech companies are racing to provide digital health aides that are individualized. Apple seems to be moving slowly, perhaps focusing on customer privacy, data veracity, and following the rules before delivering something more complete.
Analysts see the move as a readjustment, not a retreat. Adding things slowly may let Apple assess how users react while it improves its AI models and protects its reputation for privacy.
As Apple grows its health and wellness platform, investors will be looking to see how the company mixes new ideas with prudence.
