Perplexity debuts ‘Health’ AI assistant with Fitbit and Apple Health integration

⚙️ Firmware & Updates

Google finally closed Fitbit’s walled garden with two-way Apple Health sync—a decade overdue, and it means iPhone users can stop juggling duplicate health records between apps. Interoperability wins.

Marty’s Take:

Google closing this gap matters less for what it fixes than what it reveals: Fitbit was always Apple Health’s weakest link for iPhone owners, and that friction quietly pushed buyers toward Garmin and Apple Watch instead. Expect Fitbit to claw back consideration in our best fitness tracker rankings now that the ecosystem lock-in excuse is gone.
