THEone of the biggest deals with Apple new Fitness + service when it launched was that it doesn’t support AirPlay, which means you can’t send workouts from your iPhone, for example, toApple) TV. It was a daunting choice, as Apple Watch and iPhone owners without an Apple TV were forced to stream workouts on a small, small screen. Users were also no one also satisfied. But, joy! It seems that Apple is also adding the ability to design Fitness + workouts on any TV with AirPlay function.
The new feature was seen in today’s developer update for watchOS 7.4 and iOS 14.5, which have not yet been released to the public. Adding AirPlay 2 compatibility is not only convenient, it’s a step in the right direction. While Fitness + is relatively affordable at $ 10 a month, it requires a strong hardware investment to get the best experience. While you could escape just an Apple Watch and an iPhone, it’s much better if you also have an iPad and Apple TV. (Because Of course is.) Allowing users to stream AirPlay compatible TVs opens the service to a much wider range of users.
However, there is a catch. Conformable TechCrunch, it seems that although you will be able to project both audio and video through AirPlay, you will lose the values on the screen. In Fitness +, a great attraction is that you will be able to see Aactivity rappears right on the screen, along with your heart rate, calories burned and time left in a workout. For some cardio workouts, you can also see a “Burn Bar,” Which is a visual representation of how you approach everyone else who has previously trained. These values were probably the reason why Fitness + was not initially launched with AirPlay compatibility, as the watch sends those values to Apple devices via Bluetooth.
It’s kind of stupid, but at the same time, the most important part is watching the training video itself. You can always look at your wrist to see your heart rate, calories burned and how far you are in training. A bigger question is whether your ability to control your wrist workouts (e.g., interruption and starting) will be affected by AirPlay. In any case, it’s encouraging to see that Apple isn’t expecting to add updates to Fitness +. Just last week he added a new one It’s time to go feature, and now this.

This is not the only update we can expect. IOS 14.5 beta developer also seems to include a new feature called Unlock iPhone with Apple Watch. As long as you have an unlocked Apple Watch, you can use FaceID on iPhone. This would be extremely useful in situations where you cannot remove your mask and still need to unlock your phone or use a check function – for, for example, if you’re in the grocery store and want to use Apple Pay.
Again, this is Apple. Using this feature would require you to have an Apple Watch and leave non-Apple Watch users without a good option. But as always, this is not the last iteration of these features. Although it is more than likely eventually will be addressed to consumers, it is possible to take a slightly different form after receiving feedback from developers. In any case, both updates are very welcome solutions for some major pet tracks.
