WONDERS IF THE APPLE WATCH SERIES 7 COULD BE A SIGN THAT THE WEARABLE IS READY TO BE FREED FROM THE iPHONE
Previously in this column, I’ve mentioned that I find Apple’s positioning of the Apple Watch as a potentially life-saving revolution to be a bit at odds with having premium strategies for that device, and for it to be locked to Apple’s also-premium-priced phones. Shouldn’t a health revolution be available to all, regardless of phone OS preference, or budget?
However, you do need to actually get the thing working somehow, and the iPhone is key to that, since the Watch doesn’t have any setup system of its own.
