It's just literally audio feedback telling to you go faster or slower based on your heart rate. It's no more dangerous than voice navigation while driving.

You're right.

It's the portability of being able to use Fitness+ cycle instructors on any stationary bike not just a Peloton that I think provides the most value.

When things get back to normal, you can have the instructor guide you through a workout at a hotel gym or any gym anywhere with a stationary bike.

I think Peloton's largely upper-middle class target market that live in the suburbs or cities can find solid bike trails using Apple maps.

But you're right, it's too early to jump to conclusions.

EU has set a July 20 deadline for the deal. Google and Fitbit already have regulatory approval for the deal in the U.S.

Apple just took a huge swing at Peloton and at home fitness startups.

Why cycle in place at home with a Peloton instructor, when you can cycle outside with a Fitness+ instructor? Why limit yourself to your stationary Peloton bike at home, when you can use a stationary bike anywhere?

Apple can and probability will beat out Lulu Lemon's Mirror on price using motion capture on an AppleTV smartTV or Ipad.

Only startup that stands a chance is Tonal b/c of their hardware providing value.

Well, Google owns Fitbit now, so it's two behemoths going at each other.

Plus you now have Amazon coming into the market with their Halo Fitness bands.
