So if you don't have an Apple TV, you can't watch on a TV? That's a non starter for me (Peloton customer), seems a bit rubbish to be exercising in my living room and not using the TV to display the class.
- Axsuul 6y agoIt should work with AirPlay I'd imagine
- mcintyre1994 6y agoI have no way to AirPlay to my TV as far as I know, because I don't have Apple TV. Are there other ways to?
- acomjean 6y agoSome "smart" tvs have AirPlay built in. (Samsung has some models). Ours did but we didn't know it initially.
- graeme 6y agoApple did a massive push to get the tv app and airplay into a variety of smart tv’s in order to launch TV+. So if you have a newer tv it may be supported.
- skygazer 6y agoThere are also Lighting to HDMI adapters. I think it’s understandable they don’t support Chromecast for an Apple Watch centered service.
- kmonsen 6y agoMy hunch is that you are not Apple's target audience. They are fairly happy targeting specific users that are into their ecosystem.
- joewadcan 6y agowait... a $2,000 bike that only shows does bike workouts is fine, but a $150 device to stream entertainment and now fitness is too much? You can always just attach a HDMI cable to your phone or tablet (via converter) if you really want to.
- mcintyre1994 6y agoNo, I don't use the bike or tread, I just stream their exercise classes. I guess I could convert from my phone to HDMI, but Peloton works in the browser and that's a great deal easier. If I had bought a $2000 bike that only works with Peloton then I doubt I’d even be looking at Fitness+ :)
- servercobra 6y agoI have to imagine the percentage of people that can, let alone will, use a web browser attached to their TV is <1%. I don't blame Apple for not putting effort into it.
- saghm 6y agoI don't know about that; I bought an HDMI cable and showed my 62 year old mother how to connect it to her laptop, drag the browser over to the TV, and then hit the "full screen" button, and she's been doing it ever since. This is the same person who became convinced her laptop no longer had Windows Media Player installed because she accidentally deleted the icon from her desktop.
