Apple has admitted that it took three years of research to make the Apple Watch compatible with the Android operating system.
In the context of being accused by the US Department of Justice of monopolizing the smartphone market, Apple is having to make public arguments to refute, even when the information is internal.
Recently, an interesting fact was revealed. Specifically, Apple has considered supporting Apple Watch for devices running Google's Android operating system. According to sources from 9to5Mac based on investigative documents, Apple spent about three years researching the possibility of integrating Apple Watch with Android devices.
However, the company ultimately concluded that technical limitations were a key aspect that made it impossible to fully support the Apple Watch on Android. If successful, this will allow Android smart device users to connect to the Apple Watch.
Previously, the US Department of Justice accused Apple that the fact that the Apple Watch is only compatible with the iPhone will force users to give up this device or buy an additional Android smartwatch if they want to switch to an Android phone. This is evidence of Apple's monopolistic behavior.
Apple has denied these allegations, claiming that the lawsuit is legally flawed.
