BowFlex T6 review: Apple GymKit comes home at a normal treadmill price

If you use an Apple Watch with cardio equipment, GymKit should be on your radar. It’s the best way for Apple Watch and a fitness machine like a treadmill or elliptical to exchange workout data, producing more accurate measurements than either device can provide alone.

BowFlex T6 review: Apple GymKit comes home at a normal treadmill price

Apple's upcoming iOS 27 introduces a range of new Home Screen widgets for apps, with Apple Calendar emerging as the standout favorite. Ahead of the iPhone Ultra's launch, which boasts a larger display, iOS 27 offers an extra-large widget size for many Apple apps. These widgets provide a wealth of information, whether you're using an iPhone or the Ultra model. The larger widget size allows for greater visibility, enabling you to view more data at once.

Among the new widgets, Apple Calendar stands out as the writer's favorite. The Calendar app now comes with two extra-large widgets. The choice between them depends on the user's calendar usage. The List widget, however, is the writer's preferred option. It offers a comprehensive view of upcoming events and reminders, covering a significant portion of the upcoming week. This extensive preview is displayed without the need to open the Calendar app manually.

The extra-large widgets take up the space of a 4×6 grid of apps, nearly the size of a full Home Screen page. However, users aren't obligated to dedicate an entire Home Screen page to these widgets. The Today view provides a more flexible alternative, allowing for a single widget to display upcoming events and reminders. This feature is particularly appealing for those who want a quick glance at their schedule without navigating through multiple screens.
