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 Ultra 4 vs Watch Ultra 3: Should you really spend another $799?
Is there actually enough in the Apple Watch Ultra 4 to justify an upgrade?
Apple Watch Ultra 4 vs Watch Ultra 3

A quick glance at the spec sheet and it looks like the Apple Watch Ultra 4 is quite similar to last year's Ultra 3. The same 49mm titanium case houses the same big 3,000-nit display, with the Action button on the side, satellite connectivity, 100-meter water resistance, and recreational diving support down to 40 meters. Apple hasn't even changed the two case colors.

But that's just the hardware side of the story. Look underneath the familiar casing, and things start looking a lot newer. The Ultra 4 introduces an entirely new Health Sensing System, higher-frequency heart-rate and HRV measurements, and so much more. It also starts at the same $799 price at which the Ultra 3 launched. So for someone buying their first Apple Watch Ultra, the decision might be obvious. Though the same doesn't hold true for existing Watch Ultra 3 owners.

Apple Watch Series 12 vs Series 11: What’s new, and should you upgrade?
Apple Watch Series 12 is here, but is it really worth ditching the Series 11?
Apple Watch Series 12 vs Series 11

The Apple Watch Series 12 doesn't look dramatically different from the Apple Watch Series 11, and that's very much the point. Apple has kept the familiar 42mm and 46mm case sizes and the overall design, but has packed the new model with a much more ambitious health-sensing system, a new S11 chip, better charging, tougher glass, and a handful of new intelligence features. So, is this a proper generational upgrade or Apple polishing an already very good smartwatch? Let's break it down.
