Surprisingly, the earlier version of Gear S2’s firmware allows the device to connect and communicate with iPhone out of the box. Samsung Gear S2 could connect with iPhone… before the firmware update

Apple also plays a big role whether the app is going to pass on the app approval process.ĭoes this mean iPhone users are completely out of options to use the Gear S2? Not really. It is known to be less committed to deliver when it comes to software products. However, I am trying not to put too much hope regarding when Samsung is actually going to get its Gear Manager iOS app available. Apple Watch was released sooner which means it might already close to its end of life and the next generation coming soon.Gear S2 Classic is also compatible with any strap that has a standard 20mm pin.More affordable – Gear S2 Classic ($350) finishing is equivalent to Apple Watch edition (not Sport) 38mm with leather band ($650).Gear S2 uses rotating bezel for navigation vs Apple Watch’s digital crown, personally it feels more natural.Rounded bezel makes it more like you are wearing a watch instead of a gadget.There are a number of reasons why you should consider to pick this over Apple Watch: Smart move, considering this is a fine piece of device. Samsung is planning to release its Gear Manager app on iOS App Store which will officially make its latest smartwatch, Samsung Gear S2, compatible with iPhone.
