in such cases, Apple should offer the possibiliy to the user to downgrade their apple watch OS to match that of the phone, same as they do when upgrading it. otherwise it's just bad business practices.
Yes, I agree! Technically it is feasible but the Apple may not like to do it. I heard somebody bought a new watch with upgraded software and he was able to ask the shop to downgrade the watch to match his phone for free. They should make it free for all watch owners or make it possible online. Wish someday they do!
I tried both of these solutions and it didn't work on my Iphone 6plus. At first, I thought I was missing something or not doing the correct procedure until I stumbled on your video. So, it's not only me who has this problem after all. Great video btw :-)
If the apple watch has never been paired with iPhone 8 or above, you should be able to pair. However please note that iPhone 7 is no longer supported by Apple, iPhone is not supported by iOS 16. If the watch has been paired with an iPhone running iOS16, you will not be able to pair it again with iPhone 7. Have a good day!
No, you will need an Iphone 8 or later. iOS 16 was released in September 2022 and only supports iPhone 8 or later. As Watch SE 2 was release around September 2022, you should need an iPhone running iOS16 (the latest version). Have a nice day!
i did activate the watch with a freind mobile then DC , i am still using the apple watch without the iphone 6 for almost 3 years i did continue to use it since i find that i can get updates fom the watch it self . The iphone 6 is the most sold device more then 250 million device worlwide so apple are pushing peopole to buy higher devices anyway that didnt works with me as i used the watch for checking time and sport but soon i will get the iphone 12 because i would like to get more advanges not because of @apple strategy . cheers!
i just got the samsung galaxy s23 ultra, which is much better than the iphone 14 so I will also keep my 12 pro max for another couple of years at least. these apple software updates that take functionality between their own products, is just not right. They get to decide when their own devices become incompatible between them since they make the software and hardware.
Hi, I haven't tried watch 3 but I think it should be in the same situation as Watch 4: it should pair with iPhone 6 but it may not if the watch software had been upgraded since new. Also consider that Apple has stopped supporting the Watch 3 with security updates(in 2022). Have a nice day!
@@Archie.9005 Apple launched ios 16 in 2022, however it stopped the upgrades for iPhone 7! The iPhone 7 is a nice phone, running up to iOS 15. At moment I am using iPhone 5, 6 and 7, my next phone will be 8 or later, but will wait for another two or three years. Have a good day!
thank you for your comments. At the time, I did updated the iphone iOS 12 software first before pairing.
