"If I were to guess, Apple will ultimately meld its Health app with Fitness+ in some fashion — perhaps offering it as a combined subscription," said Gurman.
Gurman recently reported that Apple has scaled back plans for a separate Apple Health+ subscription service, which would have provided AI-powered health recommendations. However, he said some of the features that would have been part of Apple Health+ will be repurposed and rolled out individually.
Launched in 2020, Apple Fitness+ offers a library of trainer-led workout and meditation videos in Apple's Fitness app, across the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. In the U.S., the service costs $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. Apple Fitness+ is also included in the Apple One Premier bundle for $37.95 per month.

Apple plans to announce the iPhone 17e on Thursday, February 19, according to Macwelt, the German equivalent of Macworld.
The report, citing industry sources, is available in English on Macworld.
Apple announced the iPhone 16e on Wednesday, February 19 last year, so the iPhone 17e would be unveiled exactly one year later if this rumor is accurate. It is quite uncommon for Apple to unveil...

In the iOS 26.4 update that's coming this spring, Apple will introduce a new version of Siri that's going to overhaul how we interact with the personal assistant and what it's able to do.
The iOS 26.4 version of Siri won't work like ChatGPT or Claude, but it will rely on large language models (LLMs) and has been updated from the ground up.

"If I were to guess, Apple will ultimately meld its Health app with Fitness+ in some fashion — perhaps offering it as a combined subscription," said Gurman.
This is absolutely what Fitness+ should do. It should suggest workouts that would be most relevant and beneficial to improving the user (based on the Health data), while offering a customized dashboard to track and encourage the progress, with tips like nutrition.
Well, they have recently launched it in Poland as a separate subscription service - without even providing a voice over with Polish voices... so well... Few people are going to pay for an incomplete service.
Add more languages for voiceovers, add some local known trainers, add app for Android TV and you got a better service already.
Same. I'm 63 and overweight - I cower just looking at the muscled and toned trainers on Fitness+ and automatically jump to 'Nope, not for me!'.
Please don’t. Follow along as best you can and you’ll improve over time. They always have people doing modifications and there’s no judgement. That’s the thing that put me off face to face classes years ago. If you want to compete, compete with yourself - better than last week, not as good as next week.
During lockdown these fitness+ dance classes were a godsend- they kept me active when I could barely leave the house and gave me a routine that I could stick to when everything felt out of control. I certainly am not as active on it anymore but maybe do one or two workouts a month on it. I have tried the other products on fitness plus- like i tried the walking tour feature but I found it very strange and impersonal. I have also heard the HIIT workouts are good but they never really connected for me like the dance ones did.
I have it as part of the big apple bundle- i mostly have that for music, tv, and cloud storage, but the fitness+ is okay, if they integrate tighter with health it would be interesting.
