But it’s true. Can you use Apple Watch with Android? No. You even cannot use it with an iPad!

> But it’s true

> Apple devices lock users in solely to Apple services by being designed to be incompatible with all other options

incompatible with ALL other options

Can you use an iPad with Gmail? Yes. Can you use google maps? Yes. Can you use the non apple internet? Yes. Can use non apple services on an OSX? Yes. Can you use dropbox? Yes.

I wont keep going as the list of non apple services you can use with an apple device is bascially infinite. In the time it would take to write them all down many more would have come into existence.

So it is demonstrably false, not even remotely close to being true.

There are legitimate issues, you dont need to litterally make up shit to make the case. It is either lazy, or just shows that the people making the case are too retarded for the nuance needed to actually highlight the real problems that exist.

This is a bit like complaining that you can't use an Xbox controller with a Playstation.

There is no technical reason why Apple Watch can't work with other devices, except intentional Apple lockdown forcing users to buy iPhones. I see nothing similar with the gaming platforms.

Apple Watch can't even be turned on without an iPhone. Have a look at PineTime - an open-source watch that can work with anything you want, or by itself.

> I see nothing similar with the gaming platforms.

How can you say that? I can’t run home brew games on an Xbox due to intentional locking down of the device by Microsoft forcing me to buy games they bless to be on their platform.

But some how these companies get a pass but Apple gets constantly blasted for this practice?

For the record, you should be able to do these things. But that is somewhat of a naive view of the world.
