Apple launches virtual fitness service, Apple One subscription bundle, new watches

Apple Inc on Tuesday introduced a new Apple Watch Series 6 that monitors blood oxygen for US$399 and a lower-cost Apple Watch SE for US$279, kicking off a product lineup for a holiday shopping season that will be unlike any other due to COVID-19.

Apple also announced Apple One, bundling services such as television, music, games and a new virtual fitness service. Apple One will cost US$15 per month for an individual plan or US$20 per month for a family plan.Apple said both new watches can be pre-ordered starting Tuesday and will be available on Friday.

Apple shares have soared this year even as the virus has crippled economies around the world, thanks in large part to booming sales of work-from-home items. Apple said the Series 6 watch's new ability to monitor blood oxygen using infrared light should be used for fitness and wellness purposes. Doctors in India and other countries have used pulse oximeters to remotely check on COVID-19 patients and ensure their oxygen saturation level does not fall too low.
