Not to be rude or bad, but why someone would even buy one? If you won’t allow other smartwatches to work with your phone from day 1, then you shouldn’t be selling a phone.
You sell “smart” phone, yet only your own smart watch will work fine.It’s the Apple ©®™ experience
Third party smartwatches have worked since the OG Pebble with iPhones. The functionality is just more limited. The Apple Watch has tight integration with apps and services on the phone.
I see, thanks for the info!
This has been the core of Apple’s business since day one. They have been making their products so that you have to buy accessories, add-ons, replacement parts only from them, nothing else is compatible.
So once you own one or two of their products, you are locked in to buying more from them, or have to replace everything, not just your phone. They are total assholes for such a business model, but hopefully the EU will change that
