Google recently announced that Android Wear became compatible with the iPhone, making it a direct competitor to the Apple Watch. Now, a new platform joins that initiative. The Samsung Gear S2 It could also include compatibility with Apple smartphones, and since it is one of the best smartwatches, it is something to keep in mind.
Android and iOS compatibility
The launch of Samsung Gear S2 It has been a milestone within Samsung because the smart watch becomes compatible with all Android smartphones (as long as they meet some technical requirements), despite having Tizen as the operating system for the watch. This is an important novelty because, until now, Samsung's Tizen smartwatches were not compatible with Android mobiles, but simply with Samsung smartphones.
However, it seems that this new compatibility will not stop there, but Samsung would like the Gear S2 to be completely compatible with all mobile phones on the market, or with almost all, except Windows and little else. Basically, your goal is for the Samsung Gear S2 It is also compatible with iOS, Apple's operating system for mobiles and tablets and, therefore, with all iPhones. In this way, it would imitate the watches with Android Wear, already compatible with iOS, it would go on to rival these, as it does not have a lack in terms of compatibility, and it could even rival the Apple Watch. It seems complex for an Apple user to decide to buy a Samsung Gear S2, but they are becoming an increasingly autonomous watch, especially its version with mobile connectivity, its integration with the mobile phone is not so relevant, and the few features that still a user might need this version of the watch, they would still have them, like the ability to see iPhone notifications and so on.
In any case, it is good news for all those users who were going to buy this smartwatch, because that means that watch manufacturers are realizing that making them exclusive for their smartphones does not make sense, and the world of watches smartwatches could veer towards a situation where watches are much more useful.
