After the US Department of Justice launched a case against Apple, arguing that the company maintained an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market and some related services, the Cupertino-based firm came up with a surprising story.
For years now, one of the main criticisms against Apple has been its walled garden approach, which makes it extremely difficult or impossible to use its devices with other non-Apple products. However, it appears that the tech company has tried to make its Apple Watch work with Android phones.
In fact, Apple entertained the idea for three years. Apple’s statement is in response to DOJ allegations that Apple is gatekeeping its ecosystem.
Apple argues that there are technical limitations and that the Apple Watch cannot work with Android phones. This is particularly interesting because an older report claimed the same thing, but only Apple is admitting it.
