Previously, iOS compatibility was restricted to the LG Watch Urbane, however, future watches manufactured by Huawei, Asus and Motorola is going to support Apple’s operating system. Nevertheless, what remains to be noticed is that there will still be some difference in the performance of the functions when the comparison is made to an iPhone-linked Apple watch.

But now with the support for iOS, Google is expecting the big change. iPhone devices such as the iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus are compatible with Android Wear and there is a need for iOS 8.2 software or later.
