Samsung Sets Galaxy Unpacked Date; Fitbit AI Coach Hits iOS at USD 10/mo
Samsung has finally put a calendar on the wall for its next Galaxy Unpacked, a move that usually draws a flood of hardware rumors and developer chatter. At the same time, Fitbit is expanding its AI‑driven coaching service beyond Android, rolling it out on iOS alongside the fresh iOS 26.3 update Apple pushed out this week. The rollout comes with a clear price tag: $10 a month for Fitbit Premium, which now bundles the virtual running coach that many users have been eyeing as a cheaper alternative to hiring a personal trainer.
Early adopters are already weighing the cost against the convenience of an on‑phone guide that can adjust workouts in real time. One reviewer, Adrienne So, says the service stands out among the growing field of AI fitness assistants. Her take hints at a broader question for consumers: does a subscription‑based digital coach deliver enough value to replace traditional, often pricey, coaching arrangements?
However, it is the easiest, most helpful, and most accommodating of the AI coach services that I've tried so far, and $10/month for Fitbit Premium is cheaper than a real running coach. --Adrienne So iOS 26.3 Makes It Easy to Switch to Android Apple released iOS 26.3 this week for the iPhone, and the hot new feature might surprise you. The company is making it easier to switch to Android phones, thanks to a collaboration with Google, which also recently added a similar feature for switching from Android to iPhone.
Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked on February 25 will be the next public window into its flagship line, with the event streamed from San Francisco at 10 a.m. PT. Rumors suggest the upcoming S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra will arrive largely unchanged from the current models, aside from a likely upgrade to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. If the hardware stays familiar, the real question is whether software or design tweaks will differentiate the series.
Meanwhile, Fitbit’s AI Coach finally lands on iOS, joining the existing Android offering. At $10 a month, the service is billed as the most helpful and accommodating coach the author has tried, and it’s priced below a traditional running coach. Whether users will find the AI guidance sufficient for serious training remains unclear.
Apple’s iOS 26.3 rollout is noted for easing a switch to Android, though details are sparse. Overall, the announcements point to incremental updates rather than sweeping changes, leaving the impact of Samsung’s new phones and Fitbit’s iOS AI Coach open to further observation.
