    I’ve seen people buying an iPhone just to be able to use an Apple Watch so I would say good move, Apple.

      This is the only reason I have a 14PM. The experience has been nice but I miss android more than I like iOS.

      Nothing can beat my experience on Apple watch/Airpods, though, and until they do apple will be keeping me with them.

        I have both but tbh I don’t think either are all that. Even AirPods noise cancellation is comparable to a good seal and I find id still rather take them off than use transparency mode when talking to someone. Controls are nice though I guess.

        The watch is great but the single day battery life can make me miss my garmin

        I’m roughly in the same boat, 14P, but I don’t really mind iOS over android after all these years. Big thing I miss is the proper swipe/back function. Android seemed much more easier to navigate for that alone.

        But I’d been android since the beginning and every phone I had seemed to have some issue. Never quite well rounded. And support for any issue you’d have would be abysmal/non existent.

        Also, I’m gonna be mad about this until the day I die, we all had pebble wearables and those were incredible! They worked great and had a week long battery. They were even starting to physically look half great for the time being. But no, we couldn’t have nice things. Fuck Fitbit.

      That’s the whole point. It’s an accessory to iPhone, and only to iPhone.

      You want the watch? You gotta get the phone. (A used one is fine, of course. But the majority of people would buy a new iPhone)

      If Apple released a watch that worked with Android phones it would hit sales of iPhones.
