And in fact, Apple also announced something new regarding the Fitness application, which has already been present on iPhones for a while. The latter now allows activity monitoring provided that you have an Apple Watch. But, with iOS 16, this will change, and an activity tracking option will be offered to those who do not have a connected watch.

Concretely, this tool will work using the movement sensors of the iPhone which is able to measure the number of steps taken, as well as your different training sessions and an estimate of the number of calories burned.

There is no doubt that this new feature will appeal to all those who do not intend to buy an Apple Watch but would like to be able to track and record their daily physical efforts. Final detail revealed by our colleagues fromMacRumors, the Fitness+ option will not be available for those who do not have an Apple Watch.
