Google makes Android Wear for iOS official, giving Apple Watch a bit more competition

From PC World: Google finally announced iOS support for Android Wear on Monday, making good on a string of rumors that have persisted since the last major Wear update and reached a crescendo last week when Huawei outed iOS support on an accidental Amazon listing. iPhone owners won’t get the full Wear experience that Android users get (see details below), but their smartwatch hardware options are about to explode.

On the phone side, the Android Wear for iOS app will work on iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6 and 6 Plus running iOS 8.2 and later. On the watch side, support is more limited: The app starts rolling out today, but currently only works with LG’s Watch Urbane. However, most future Android Wear watches—including models from Huawei, Asus, Motorola, and presumably even TAG Heuer—should be iPhone-compatible.
