Apple Highlights New Fitness+ Content

Apple introduced new content in its Fitness+ subscription service this week, including a new menopause-focused workout program.

Apple Fitness Plus iPhone Trio
Fitness+ gains "Strong Through Menopause," a progressive three-week program featuring weekly Yoga and Strength workouts designed to help users navigating perimenopause and menopause build strength, improve balance and mobility, and reduce stress. A new episode of Time to Walk also features actor Busy Philipps, who shares stories from her life including her own experience with perimenopause.

The program complements perimenopause and menopause tracking support introduced in Cycle Tracking with watchOS 27 and iOS 27.

‌iOS 27‌ also brings several broader updates to the Health and Fitness apps. Users can now sort by completed Fitness+ workouts, route maps in the Fitness app are said to be more accurate following workouts, and step count is now synced between the Health and Fitness apps.

IMAX Reacts to iPhone Duo's 1:1.4 Aspect Ratio Displays

Friday September 11, 2026 4:42 am PDT by
Production theater company IMAX has responded in a mixed way to Apple's embrace of a 1:1.4 aspect ratio on the iPhone Duo's inner and outer displays. The boxier ratio happens to be very close to the classic "full-frame" IMAX 1.43:1 aspect ratio, which comes from the geometry of the company's original 15-perforation/70mm film system. In response to an X post from someone wondering if we'll see...

yeah, and why bother with school? Just go to the library and read books. And why go to restaurants, just go home and cook. We have people help others in all sorts of ways. For those looking for guidance to do something in a way that might not be as clear. I use Apple Fitness with my rowing machine. This gives you routines that differ in various ways with each work out. They train in different ways that keep it engaging. I could just hop on my rower and go all out for X amount of time and get a workout or I could intervals and work out smarter and more efficiently.

Always funny to watch people upset about something they don't have to use. Toss it in a folder and hide it away if you don't use it. It is not that complicated.

Good to see Apple expanding support for menopause and perimenopause (it was already great to see Apple add to features elsewhere in the lineup, as mentioned in the article). More recognition/acknowledgment and support is a good thing.

I really enjoy Apple Fitness. It's great for people who work in an office all day, and have small bits of time to be healthy. It's obviously made with a lot of care and love.

The only semi-negative is how woke it is, overall. It's tiring.

I am a fan of fitness plus but I wish they would create longer than 3 week programs.

Whatever “woke” actually is, I’d probably be considered low-key woke by many. But I might agree with you.

My criticism there would be that the inclusiveness vibe feels excessively performative, zero subtlety. And they are just tooooo happy, like in a very fake way. Happiness is good, I’m a fan, but there’s a line where it crosses into annoying; and it’s consistent here.

Also, how do they not have a category for mobility workouts yet? They’re so far behind.

The production values and workouts, though, are quite good IMO.
