Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 7 packs in some nice features over its predecessor, but is it worth checking out if you’re an iPhone user?
Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 7 may not look like much of an upgrade over its predecessor at first glance, but it packs some significant improvements under the hood that could be enough to tip the scales for those who have been thinking about jumping into one of Samsung’s latest wearables.
The latest Galaxy Watch adopts a classy green as its standard finish but otherwise retains the same iconic rounded design with a bright and crisp edge-to-edge display and compatibility with a broad assortment of watch bands. However, on the inside, you’ll find a new five-core Exynos W1000 chip that promises to deliver three times the performance of the Galaxy Watch 6, upgraded health sensors, a more accurate GPS, and the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-authorized Sleep Apnea feature.
There’s enough here to make Apple fans take a closer look and consider what life may be like on the other side. However, can you use a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 if you’re toting an iPhone?Does the Galaxy Watch 7 work with the iPhone?
Despite everything the Galaxy Watch 7 has to offer, there’s still no doubt that the Apple Watch is the best choice for most iPhone owners. That’s partly because it’s also the only smartwatch that’s fully compatible with the iPhone.
If you haven’t looked at Samsung’s smartwatches in a few years, you may remember the days when the company offered a Galaxy Watch app for iOS that delivered basic iPhone compatibility. This wasn’t nearly as tightly integrated as what iPhone users could do with an Apple Watch, and was limited to things like notifications and managing music playback.
