There are rumors that an AI-based Health+ service<\/a> will be introduced at some point in 2026, but the Apple Fitness+ post may simply be referencing some kind of fitness program or fitness promotion that’s designed to help people meet their New Year’s Resolutions.

There were rumors suggesting Apple would release the new Apple TV before the end of 2025, but it looks like that’s not going to happen now.
