In the final run up before the Apple Watch launches, an interesting rumor made the rounds: Google is allegedly working on bringing Android Wear watch support to iPhones. On the surface that may sound odd: Why would Google even consider such a thing?
The reality is: [company]Google[/company] has long supported [company]Apple[/company]’s mobile OS with nearly all of its services and there are plenty of examples of that. There are iOS apps for Google Play Music and Movies, for example, as well as Gmail, Google Voice, Google Search (which adds Google Now contextual notifications to iOS), Drive, Maps and more. About the only main Google app that still remains Android only I can think of is Google Keep.
Granted, Android Wear is a different case since this is Google’s smartwatch platform. There’s precedent here, however: Google eventually added Google Glass support for iPhone users. I think, as a result, it would make sense…
