Samsung is intended to strengthen its fusion with Andoid, according to the Google co-designed Wear OS 3. Having been in the wearable market for years, the company is still being complained about its limited third-party apps, despite a fantastic base experience. The cooperation with Google this time will make it more convenient to connect Galaxy watches with Galaxy phones and other Android-supported handsets.
On the other side, Galaxy Watch 4 for the first time offers no support for iOS, if you chech the spes of the watch on the company’s website. This means that you can’t connect Galaxy Watch 4 with your iPhone or any other Apple devices. The move will undoubtedly discourage some potential buyers, but anyway, it’s a trend that more and more non-iOS smartwatches choose to stop compatibility with Apple.
The good news is that your older Galaxy smartwatches won’t be affected by this policy, you can still connect Galaxy Watch 3, Galaxy Watch Active 2 and the like to any Apple devices.
