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.

I’ve used the Apple Watch Series 8 for four years. The Series 12 finally made me want to upgrade

I've used the Apple Watch Series 8 for four years, and I never felt the itch to upgrade. Sure, newer models added faster chips and neat tricks like the double-tap gesture, but nothing felt big enough to convince me to spend the money and start over with a new watch. I was happy with what I had.

That changes with the Apple Watch Series 12. It brings a mix of hardware and software upgrades that make it one of the best Apple Watch releases in years, and the best part is that it still starts at $399. Here's why I'm finally ready to move on from my Series 8.

Google may have a fitness tracker in the works with a display and Wear OS
It could be the Fitbit Charge 6 successor

Google may be preparing a successor to the Fitbit Charge 6, and it could bring a major software change to the fitness band. A mystery device identified as G8BL6 has appeared at the FCC with Bluetooth LE, built-in GNSS, and what appears to be a display. 9to5Google believes the device could run Wear OS and says it would make sense as a successor to the Charge line.

The Charge 6 has not been refreshed since 2023. Google also showed an unidentified fitness band in Pixel 11 ads in August. The device had a tall display and looked closer to a Fitbit Charge than a Pixel Watch. Google never identified it, but the FCC device could be the same product.

Apple’s best use of AI isn’t happening on the iPhone
Apple Watch understands AI better than the iPhone
Apple Watch Series 12 Audio Intelligence

AI is constantly being shoved in our faces. From your laptop to your phone, every new gadget now ships with some features built around AI. Over the last couple of years, even Apple has tried to make Apple Intelligence sound like the next big thing on the iPhone.

With iOS 27, the argument finally became worth listening to. Siri AI is a great example of this. It can search through personal information and understand what is on your screen before answering specific or broader general questions. Visual Intelligence looks through your phone's camera to understand what you're seeing, and a lot more.
