wait... 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.



No, 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 Iā€™d even be looking at Fitness+ :)


I 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.


I 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.
