GymKit has been one of Apple Watch’s smartest fitness features since it launched in 2017. Tap your watch to compatible gym equipment, and Apple Watch shares your heart rate while the machine sends back metrics like distance, incline, pace, and calories. With iOS 27, Apple is expanding that idea beyond Apple Watch. I tested the new GymKit on iPhone and AirPods Pro 3 ($179, reg. $249) experience with a GymKit-compatible treadmill. It basically gives you the Apple Watch GymKit workout tracking experience, just without the watch. This could be useful in a lot of scenarios.06:29 pmMagSafe Monday: Spigen turned a MagSafe wallet into a mini backpack

Macworld Beats 240W USB-C cable View Deal (function () { document.querySelector("#sticky-promo-block a").addEventListener("click", function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest("#sticky-promo-block").querySelector("p.promo-title").textContent; const data = { event: "stickyConversionUnitClick", eventCategory: "Sticky Conversion", eventAction: "Click", eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log("Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: ", data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); Beats’ 10-foot 240W USB-C to USB-C cable is down to $16.49 right now when you clip the coupon on the listing page. That’s good for nearly half off its $30 MSRP and the best price we’ve ever seen. The absolute most important feature of this Beats product is the 240W power rating. That’s well beyond what a phone needs, which means this cable can fast-charge a laptop at full speed, not just trickle power to a handset. Pair it with a capable USB-C wall adapter, and it’ll keep up with a MacBook or any other power-hungry laptop. And while the power is absolutely amazing, the length of this cable is the star of the show. At 10 feet (3 meters), this reaches from a couch to a far-off outlet, or from a nightstand to a wall plug that isn’t conveniently close. I have 6-foot cables and still wish I’d have had this one instead because we did not think out the placement of the couch well enough. Plus, most cables that ship with your devices are barely 3 feet, which means you’re probably only using them for desk charging. Durability is one thing you won’t have to worry about when it comes to these Beats cables. The braided design protects the wires against the usual tear that happens when you bend them over and over. The Beats 240W USB-C cable is also versatile. Beyond charging, it can help you sync information, transfer data, listen to high-quality audio, and so on. It works with all USB-C Apple and Android devices, and it’ll charge your Beats Studio Pro, Solo 4, or Pill while you keep listening. You do have to keep in mind that this cable may be able to deliver 240W charging, but you need a wall charger that can actually deliver all that power. That one’s going to cost you extra. At $16.49, this Beats 240W cable is an easy pick if you want one long, rugged cable that can fast-charge a laptop, sync data, and survive daily abuse.05:16 pmiOS 26.5.2 update likely coming soon for iPhone users
