Apple is broadening the reach of its GymKit feature to include the iPhone and AirPods Pro 3 with the release of iOS 27. Previously exclusive to the Apple Watch, GymKit now allows users to connect their iPhone and AirPods Pro 3 to compatible gym equipment such as treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, and stair-steppers. This expansion enables users to receive precise workout metrics in real time, including speed, pace, distance, calories, and heart rate, directly on their devices. The two-way data exchange ensures synchronization between the device and the gym equipment, providing a seamless experience without the necessity of wearing an Apple Watch.
