The Samsung Gear S2 will be compatible with the iPhone

Galaxy-Gear-2

Samsung presented the Samsung Gear S2 a couple of weeks ago taking advantage of the launch of the new Edge + and Note 5 models, but during the IFA that is being held these days in Germany, the Korean firm has taken the opportunity to offer more information about this device in addition to showing it to the general public, so that people can get an idea of ​​its operation, dimensions, applications, functions ...

But it was days after its presentation when Samsung unofficially, but citing reputable sources, he has just announced that this device will be compatible with the iPhone, thanks to the application that will be launched expressly for this (the Gear S2 carries Tizen not Android Wear), in the style of Pebble and the latest Google application so that Android Wear users can use, in a very limited way, the devices of the competition from the Apple Watch.

It was time for Koreans to open their eyes and see beyond their noses. Samsung's smartwatches have only been compatible with their devices, an aspect that has greatly limited their sales, despite being quite competitive devices. Perhaps Samsung has realized that forcing users to buy a Samsung phone in order to enjoy their smartwatch is not reason enough to skyrocket the Korean firm's sales of both smartphones and smartwatches.

This decision is very likely has been influenced by Google's decision to launch an app for iOSIt should be remembered that due to the limitations of iOS, both Pebble and Android Wear and now Samsung will have limited interaction options between the iPhone and their devices, so that, until Apple changes it, they will only be able to receive notifications but not respond. , as if you can do the Pebble application for Android and Samsung when it is available on Google Play.

      The iPhone has 3g, gps, from 8 to 128 gbs, and a music player. Don't be so consumerist. You don't need that device. Let the rich be poorer, and keep your money. You may need it tomorrow, and your watch, which you have to charge every other day, will not feed you.

    The watches that are coming out now are a fad, which will be gone in no time. You cannot fight with a watch industry that is hundreds of years old, offering products that work, and you don't have to charge the battery every day. They are only devices so that whoever carries them can show the money that has been spent.
