Meet Fitness +, the new fitness service for Apple Watch
By Clare Duffy

Fitness + will have a catalog of exercise videos that can be accessed from any screen: iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, etc.

New videos will be added every week and synced to Apple Music.

When users want to check their metrics during training, the numbers will automatically increase on their watch face.
Fitness + will be available before the end of the year, for $ 9.99 per month or $ 79.99 per year.
A subscription can be shared within a family.
Apple offers three months of free service with a new Apple Watch purchase.

Apple Watch Series 6 will not come with a USB charger
The Apple Watch will no longer come with a USB power adapter, said Lisa Jackson, Apple's vice president of environment, policy and social initiatives.

That means if you don't have a charger at home to charge your watch, you will need to buy one separately.
The move could hint at Apple's future strategy.
The tech giant could include fewer and fewer adapters with its new products, counting on consumers already having them at home and citing environmental concerns as a reason to cut back on accessories.

By Rishi Iyengar
With a new iPad up for grabs at today's event, here's a reminder of Apple's first version of a handheld tablet, which was largely considered a flop.

Touted as a technology that would revolutionize people's lives, Newton struggled for several years before Apple finally stopped insisting on it in 1998.
In its 1992 coverage of the device, CNN described it as a computer that "fits in the palm of your hand" that you can write on "like a notepad" that turns your doodles into text on the screen.
