Belgium and Netherlands have an apple store but still no fitness+… I don’t think it is that.

ops too slow anyway… I think it is more related to the dutch language and they think we speak that here too ;)
 
Hello from the Netherlands! no homepod or mini here, and no fitness +.

In Belgium they could sell it easily in the southern and Brussels zone, as they have it covered in French (from France), but as no interest of covering Dutch as a language in Safari translations, nor Siri apple music requests no Fitness, then Belgium is grounded.

Same in The Netherlands, and scandinavia. Apple doesnt find these markets big enough :(

Fitness could work easily in the netherlands as everyone talks English, just invest in subtitles in Dutch, like apple tv + offers! For one thing they have money, for other thing not!

Even homepod in siri could be sold in EN, I have homepods here and I use them in ES. They assume everyone needs the products to work in the language of the place where they sell it.

anyway, this topic makes me super angry. I would paid for Apple One tier with Fitness and 2 TB.

Indeed. I have 5 Homepod minis in our house but forced to use them in English. Multilanguage support would be even better for bi- or tri-lingual households like ours. And it is weird, since the iPhone and iPad do have Dutch language support with some limits. Why not on Homepod (mini)?

@MacRumors.com Maybe a good question for the next interview with Apple? Timeline for other Siri languages? Multi-language Siri support?

Fitness with subtitles isn't practical with most exercises. And Apple probably wants quality translation (and dubbing) and in my professional experience there are very few companies in the Netherlands which reach such high standards.
 


Apple Fitness+, Apple's subscription-based fitness service, is now rolling out in 15 new countries, including Austria, Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates.

Priced at $9.99 per month, or available as part of the Apple One Premier bundle that has also expanded to new countries, Fitness+ offers users a catalog of workouts, all powered by the Apple Watch Series 3 or later. Fitness+ launched in December of last year in only the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand.

Every week, Fitness+ gains new workouts and videos, meaning the catalog of workouts and styles to choose from is constantly growing. Fitness+ also includes Time to Walk, Guided Meditations, and more. With the launch of iOS and iPadOS 15.1, tvOS 15.1, and watchOS 8.1, Fitness+ can also be used with SharePlay, letting friends and family workout together over FaceTime.

So still not in Denmark. What a letdown. Yes, the danish language surely plays a minor part when it comes to the total of potential Apple customers. We are a little nation with only 6 million speaking the danish language. BUT… we also speak and understand English fluently/perfectly! Why not capitalize on those markets that naturally flourish with the English spoken word. What’s keeping Apple from having a service like Fitness+ in the Danish market? The same question would go for Sweden, Norway, or Finland. Don’t Apple know how capable we Scandinavians are when it comes to the English language? Or what? No one here would miss out on anything using Fitness+ as it presents itself in USA or the UK. Can anyone explain why Apple is holding back on the opportunity to cash in on these markets???

am I missing something or does Apple One pricing not make sense in Portugal now that Fitness+ has been added?

so the price is as it was before, for individual €11,95 for music, tv+, arcade, iCloud+ 50gb

so I was expecting with fitness+ it would maybe take it to what, €18? €20?

no, its €25,95. admittedly its a family pack for 5 which not everyone needs, and its 2tb which not everyone needs.

is it like that In all countries?

I can fitness+ for €9.99 a month, or €59.99 for a year, which is only €5 a month basically. but then once its split up you then dither and think do I need each bit, whereas if they'd just stuck up individual apple one including fitness+ for €17 a month lots of people would grab it.
 
That behaviour is to be expected, I’m afraid. Fitness + requires the next higher up tier which is Premier or Premium (as it is called here in Germany). If that tier does not show up in settings, but just F+, I’d suggest to go ahead with that trial and wait a couple of days until the infrastructure is up-to-date.
You can then upgrade from “Apple Family” to Premium/Premier. Hope this helps.

Got it and I found it quite disappointing TBH: I already pay 19,95€/month for Apple One Family (including 200GB of cloud storage) and the Premium tier is up to 28,95€/month with 2TB (which I don’t need).

Not gonna work for me.
