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 retail stores could soon spare you the lengthy wait for fixing Apple Watch software

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

If you have ever tried to fix Apple Watch software issues by restoring or factory resetting it, you know how big a hassle the entire process is. The Watch often gets stuck in a boot loop and never turns on.

If such a thing happened and you visited an Apple Store to get it fixed, you at least had to wait a couple of days, as no in-store repair option existed. The Apple Store had to mail it to an Apple Repair Center, wait for it to be shipped, repaired, and shipped back. Not exactly a great experience.
