Right, but it is almost impossible for anyone else to compete in the ecosystem.
If another major fitness brand wants to do the same the probably cannot because:
- The tight integration is not possible, only Apple can build these kind of Apple Watch experiences.
- They would need to pay Apple 30%, maybe making this not profitable especially against Apple's own offering that can have internal pricing where the 30% never comes into play.
- clajiness 6y agoPeloton’s doing a great job, they have an Apple Watch app, and I don’t believe Apple is getting 30% out of them. Peloton’s ecosystem is awesome.
- kmonsen 6y agoI have a peloton bike and I love it. I also like to run with peloton outdoors, but I can’t do that with just the Apple Watch. It seems likely the Apple will offer something similar for their service that will work with watch only.
- prawn 6y agoProbably not as tight as their integration, but we have a (far less polished, but effectively made by one person) workout app with Watch and Music integration. On Watch, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. One-time cost though as opposed to their monthly subscription.
