In August 2025, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman predicted that Apple plans a Health+ service for iOS 27. Now, he says that’s no longer the case.
The original plan seemed to be for a service that consists of an AI-based health coach that offers nutrition planning and medical suggestions. Prior to August 2025 Gurman said the coaching feature would be part of iOS 26, then later said it wouldn’t arrive until iOS 27.
And that wasn’t the first time a Health+ service has been mention. In January 21, Loup Ventures predicted Apple would add more services to its list of current ones (Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple News+, Apple Arcade, Fitness+, and iCloud). They never arrived — and perhaps never will.
The venture capital firm foresaw Apple Health+, a healthcare opportunity that would leverage sensors “to capture more health data, more frequently, than perhaps any other consumer health platform.”
Gurman says the Health+ feature is being scaled back instead of outright canceled. He added that some of the components of Apple Health+, such as suggestions based on existing Health app data, will be “repurposed and introduced as early as this year.”
