Many months ago that the application to connect the Samsung S2 Gear with the iPhone leaked, thus revealing the intentions of the Korean brand that your smart watch could be used with the iPhone. When many had already lost the hope that this would occur, seems it’s coming sooner rather than later, because Samsung has just launched a program to test your application that will allow us to link the clock Gear S2 with our iPhone, and thanks to it we know the details on the compatibility of the same with different iPhone models and versions of iOS.
Why would someone want to have a S2 Gear can have a Apple Watch? The reasons can be very varied. The price can be one of them, since the Samsung clock is around €250 in stores such as Amazon, € 100 less than the cheapest Apple clock model. But there are other points to keep in mind as the design, being a round clock rather than the square shape of the Apple Watch, or compatibility with different smartphones, the S2 Gear would be compatible with your Android phone and your iPhone, something that does not happen with Apple Watch only works with your iPhone and not even know if Apple plan any changes at this point of time.
The test program is only available in South Korea, and begins today itself, having as a final date on September 19. Is compatible with all the models of iPhone from the iPhone 5 to the current iPhone 6s / 6s Plus and the recent iPhone is, and is requires at least iOS 8.4 or any version later. The connection with the iPhone application works with Gear S2 Sport and Classic models, and also the Gear Fit 2. We already have registered us, to see if with a bit of luck we accept and we can test the application to tell you our impressions until they launch the official application to the public, something that should not be delayed too taking into account the date of completion of the test program. If you want to try luck, this is the link for access to the program.
