Samsung Sets Galaxy Unpacked Date; Fitbit AI Coach Hits iOS at USD 10/mo
The countdown begins: Samsung has finally locked a date for its next Galaxy Unpacked event. But the bigger story this week isn’t just about new hardware, it’s about what your phone and watch can do for you without a human coach in sight. Fitbit’s AI trainer is now live on iOS, and at $10 a month, it’s cheaper than a single session with a real running coach.
“The easiest, most helpful, and most accommodating of the AI coach services I’ve tried,” writes Adrienne So. That’s a hard sell to ignore. Meanwhile, Apple dropped iOS 26.3, and the surprise headliner isn’t a fancy new feature, it’s a door.
Apple and Google teamed up to make switching to Android easier than ever. A move that used to feel like defection now comes with a welcome mat. Samsung, Fitbit, Apple, Google: this week’s gear news is less about boxes and more about the invisible intelligence inside them.
Samsung will unveil its next flagship smartphone lineup on February 25 at its Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco. The company sent out invites earlier this week.
So Samsung’s next big reveal has a date. Fitbit’s AI coach lands on iOS for ten bucks a month, cheaper than a real running coach, and apparently the most accommodating out there. And Apple, in a rare moment of détente, just made it easier to ditch the iPhone for a Galaxy.
Three moves. One message: the lines between ecosystems are blurring. Hardware becomes a stage for services.
AI becomes a trainer you can pocket. And the once-hostile border between iOS and Android? It’s now a revolving door.
The week’s gear news is less about gadgets and more about permission. Permission to leave. Permission to get coached by a machine that listens.
Permission to mark a calendar date for whatever Samsung has up its sleeve. What remains is the question: in a world where every device is getting smarter and every wall is getting lower, what will you actually choose to let inside your pocket?
