If you are an Android phone owner and have been meaning to get an Apple Watch, this could be your best chance. Rumour says that Apple could release an Android-compatible variant of the Apple Watch. That said, what should you know about it?
For your information, Apple almost made the Apple Watch compatible with Android devices. That’s understandable given Android’s strong presence. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company might have worked on the watch and made its health app compatible with Android.
Reportedly, this project is codenamed Project Fennel. This project is meant to help Apple reach billions of Android users. Interestingly, Apple almost made it work too. But for some unknown reasons, the company ultimately backed down from the plan. A close source says:
“If you gave up the watch to Android, you would dilute the value of the watch to the iPhone.”
In the end, Apple sees the Apple Watch as a prop that could push the iPhone sales up. We could have had greatness in our hands, but it’s not meant to be. Thankfully, most wearable OS 4 smartwatches are just as good as the Apple Watch.
We have yet to confirm if Apple is going to proceed with this plan. Or, if this variant will arrive in Malaysia. At this point, it has likely been shelved and canned indefinitely.
