Apple reportedly tried to make Apple Watch work with Android

Original: Apple tried to make Apple Watch work with Android

Reports say Apple attempted to make the Apple Watch compatible with Android phones, an effort that would have opened its wearable to a far larger user base. The project apparently never came to fruition, and the Watch remains exclusive to the iPhone. Commenters are weighing how the move could have reshaped the smartwatch market and why Apple ultimately abandoned it.

Why now: News of a previously unreported Apple effort to cross the platform divide is surprising and fuels debate about Apple's walled-garden strategy.
