Samsung now offers iPhone compatibility for Gear S3, Gear S2 and Gear Fit2

Samsung's been making wearables for a number of years now, but has often limited these to be compatible to specific Samsung models and just recently made them interoperable with other Android devices. Samsung's now announced that iPhone users can consider rocking a Gear wearable.

Consumers can download the Samsung Gear S app for the Gear S2 and Gear S3 or the Samsung Gear Fit app for the Gear Fit2 from the Apple App Store.

"We are constantly innovating with technology for Canadians to fit their connected lives," said Paul Brannen, COO and Executive Vice President, Mobile Solutions, Samsung Canada. "By offering both Android and iOS compatibility with our latest Gear devices, we're giving consumers more ways to enhance their wearable experience and connect to Samsung's Galaxy of possibilities."

While features and functions will vary by device, iOS users will be able to enjoy the timeless and stylish design of the latest Samsung Gear with highlighted IP68 water and dust resistance², built-in GPS, Alti/barometer and Speedometer apps. It is available in two models – the Gear S3 frontier, which takes inspiration from the active explorer with a rugged design, and the Gear S3 classic, featuring an elegant style found on luxury timepieces.
