Apple Expands GymKit to iPhone and AirPods Pro 3

Apple expands Gym Kit support to the i Phone and Air Pods Pro 3 with i OS 27, extending the gym equipment connectivity feature beyond Apple Watch for the first time. Gym Kit originally launched in 2017 and has, until now, been exclusive to the Apple Watch feature, requiring users to wear the watch and tap it against compatible equipment to pair. The expansion means that i Phone and ‌Air Pods Pro 3‌ users can now also connect to supported cardio machines, including treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, and stair-steppers, for more accurate real-time workout metrics, without needing an Apple Watch on their wrist. The feature works via two-way data exchange, syncing metrics such as speed, pace, distance, calories, and heart rate between the device and the machine in real time, with the goal of aligning what the user sees on their device with what the equipment displays.Related Roundup: AirPods Pro 3Tags: AirPods Pro 3, GymKitBuyer's Guide: AirPods Pro (Neutral)Related Forum: AirPodsThis article, "Apple Expands GymKit to iPhone and AirPods Pro 3" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
