I think it’s fair to say lots of riders have iPhones and lots wear the matching Watches too, but until their reveal of watchOS 10 this week, Apple have been pretty crap when it comes to including cycling functions. Sure the Apple Watch has a bearably accurate heart rate monitor and there are basic ‘outdoor cycling’ and ‘indoor cycling’ functions on the workout mode. Digging deeper into the data it's collected is pretty much impossible though and its only Bluetooth that reliably connects with heart rate straps. That meant if you wanted training zones/plans, full screen riding displays and navigation functionality you needed to run aftermarket apps such as Strava, Komoot etc.
