To be able to have an Apple Watch an iPhone is required with which to activate and configure it. It can’t be done with an iPad or Mac, although it’s not the first time users have asked for it. However, that could change soon.
If this is true, the Apple Watch would expand its boundaries even further, and the possibility would be open to people with an iPad or a Mac but no iPhone to use it. According to the latest rumours, it will soon be true. Curiously, the reverse can be done. That is, multiple Apple Watches can be synced to the same iPhone, but not the same Apple Watch to multiple iPhones.
Sync Apple Watch with more devices
As the Twitter account comments @analyst941which in recent days is gaining a lot of popularity, Apple would consider this possibility. The idea would be to be able to sync an Apple Watch with a Mac or iPad, instead of doing it exclusively through an iPhone. This cannot be done at the moment, not even with the latest models, like the Series 8 or the Apple Watch Ultra.
The anonymous leaker goes on and on about whether this means an Apple Watch can be used without having an iPhone or not, but that’s what would make this move the most sense. He talks about a possible synchronization via iCloud, but leaves everything very ambiguous.
Anyway, this is still a rumor from an anonymous Twitter account. He’s had a high percentage of visits in recent months, so he’s aiming high, but it’s still a rumor, and it is better to treat it as such. Either way, if that ended up being true, it would be a hoot.
