What happened was what the one hand, everyone expected a long time, and which on the other hand, it was hard to imagine (and perhaps still is). Watches working under the Android Wear from work today not only Android, but also … iOS.
And no, this is another rumor, leak, or “information from a reliable source.” That’s the state of things today announced its wholly officially Google on his blog. Unfortunately, all this is some hooks.
Good start but from what Android Wear in conjunction with iOS (via a dedicated application) can. First of all, after installing the appropriate application on your Apple watches with Google’s system is able to display information about incoming calls, messages and notifications from “our favorite applications.”
There were also health functions and sporting events, but here Google is quite economical in detail, indicating only that the watch allows you to set “goals Fitness”, to monitor our activities throughout the day (including also the heartbeat) and provide access to historical data.
Through the watch will also be able to use the Google Now assistant, making him the voice commands.
Unfortunately, older models of iPhone owners will not be able to enjoy from these features. For some, undisclosed reasons accompanying the application does not work on the iPhone 4S, but it can be installed on all newer models – 5, 5c, 5S, 6 and 6 Plus. In their case, it is only required to have an operating system iOS 8.2 or later.
Google is not granted as an answer to one crucial question – whether the option of cooperation with iOS will be available for older watches from the Android Wear. In the blog post mentioned only that from today it is present in the LG Watch Urbane, and even offer it will all future vessels of Android Wear. About the incumbent asked no word but rather we should not count on it . The website The Verge has confirmed that iOS watches also work selected already available on the market, even despite the lack of official support.
Anyway, if you use iOS or Android Wear, we can only rejoice. Holders of iPhones obtained actually the first “big” alternative to the Apple Watcha that’s not all have to answer. Users or Android Wear future users can therefore expect that this step will contribute to the popularization and hence, also, and more dynamic development of the entire platform from Google.
But still it is difficult to assess during this whether in the first, the debut version of Android Wear cooperation with iOS will be worth much if we will have to wait. For now, Google told us far too little. While the movement demonstrated one thing – if you want to succeed on the market smartzegarków, and maybe even smartakcesoriów in general, you must offer compatibility with iOS.
