Airpods and related earbuds are ok. But ultimately when exercising, it's nice to enjoy full-room sound via homepod. This is partly why I think apple should get into the home exercise equipment industry and release an affordable midrange treadmill / walking pad. Like before they came out with iPhone, there were a bunch of crappy half ass "smartphones" on the market, and apple saw an opportunity to enter the industry and really out-innovate all the competition. They can do the same thing with midrange treadmills. They already sell related products and accessories like apple watch, homepod, etc ...they can also sell a table attachment to go on the handlebars, where they could market it / cross promote with MacBook Neo / iPad / apple watch etc. Apple could generate billions of profit that currently goes to peleton, nordictrack, or the hundreds of other no-name walking pads.

Apple could spend billions more like. I think this would take so many years and be so far behind the competition it would be about as successful as Apples camera or games console.

Another "Pad"? Well, at least it would make a lot of people laugh all over the name "walkingPad" translated to French. I remember years ago when Apple decided to call its tablet iPad. 😅
