Key Points:
- Apple’s AI-powered health coach, Project Mulberry, initially planned for iOS 26.4, has been delayed and scaled back, with features now expected later in the iOS 27 release cycle or possibly in subsequent updates.
- The redesigned Health app is still likely to debut with iOS 27, but the AI health coach and potential Apple Health+ subscription have been postponed to ensure competitiveness and product quality.
- watchOS 27 will bring improvements to Apple Watch heart-rate tracking, focusing on stability, performance, and more granular data refresh rates, though no major new features are expected.
- Apple delayed Project Mulberry after internal review, aiming to refine the product to better compete with existing health subscription services on the market.
