Apple is launching Fitness+, a workout and exercise service

Apple announced Fitness+ at its event on Tuesday, a fitness and exercise service that links to your Apple Watch.

The workout service will sync workouts between an Apple Watch and your Apple devices — such as Apple TVs, iPads, and iPhone —  with guided exercises from trainers with on-screen stats. The Apple Watch will feed info back onto your screen based on how you’re doing, and even give you encouragement as you near the end of the exercises

When trainers point out information or instructions, the data will be highlighted on the screen and your watch, Apple said in its announcement.

The service will feature 10 types of workouts, including yoga, cycling, dance, treadmill running and walking, strength, core, and mindful cooldowns. Apple said most workouts will only require a set of dumbells or no equipment at all.

The service will cost $10 per month or $80 for a year. Fitness+ will be available by the end of the year in select countries. Anyone who buys a new Apple Watch will get three months of the service for free.

Apple Watch Series 10: everything we know so far

For the past several years, Apple has dominated the smartwatch and wearable market with the Apple Watch. Whenever you’re out and see someone wearing a smartwatch, it’s most likely an Apple Watch.

Apple has announced its big fall event, "It's Glowtime," which will take place on September 9, 2024. This date is significant because it is also the date that the very first Apple Watch was announced back in 2014, marking its 10-year anniversary. With that said, we should expect some changes to the upcoming Apple Watch Series 10 (or possibly the Apple Watch X). Here's what we know so far.

Changing this one setting made my Apple Watch better than ever

Since the first model was announced 10 years ago, the Apple Watch has changed a lot. It's gotten larger displays, new health features, more powerful chipsets, and more. It still serves the same general purpose of being an extension of your iPhone on your wrist, and it's become one of the best smartwatches you can buy today.

I've worn an Apple Watch for the last several years, and even so, there are still new things I'm always learning about. This summer, I finally enabled one feature I've ignored for years, and it's made me love my Apple Watch more than ever.

Apple has announced the date of its fall event, dubbed “Glowtime." The highly anticipated event will take place on September 9 at Apple Park. The date is also significant because it marks exactly 10 years since the original Apple Watch was announced.

Needless to say, Apple’s Glowtime event should be a big one, as we should see the iPhone 16 line, Apple Watch Series 10 (or “X”), and more. Here’s a rundown of everything we expect Apple to show off in less than two weeks.
