Samsung drops iOS compatibility with its latest Galaxy Watch.
iPhone users who wanted a circular smartwatch have one less option to choose from. With the launch of its newest Galaxy Watch yesterday, Samsung has dropped iOS support for the first time, leaving Apple users out in the cold. The $250 Galaxy Watch4 and $350 Galaxy Watch4 Classic represent a new direction for Samsung, dumping its longstanding Tizen OS for a new version of Wear OS built in collaboration with Google and overlaid with Samsung’s One UI skin. It’s unclear whether future Wear OS watches from other manufacturers will drop iOS support as well.
