We’ve witnessed the tense hostility between the leading mobile tech
companies (Apple and Google). Apple doesn’t like other tech
companies “copying” them in whatever way; else, they’ll have to
sort it out in court. Now rumors have it that Google’s mobile
division (Android) is working on a way to make their smart watches
work on iOS devices (yeah, they really wanna do it). But the problem
is not if Google CAN do it, it’s whether or not Apple will let them
do it (why?) Apple is a megalomaniac. This was proven in their T &
C’s which expressly stated that the mere mention of other Operating
Systems in their apps or devices is strictly prohibited! This rule
still remains in place and Google’s watch is called well Google
watch; get it? So the only way this will work (note that this is just
my personal opinion though) is either if Google changes their watch’s
name or if Apple revises their T & C’s (which is less
feasible).
On another note, taking a look at Android L’s source code shows
some semblance to Apple’s codes. So there is a chance that these
tech giants have been “borrowing” each other’s codes (or is it
just a one way street?) because Android is open source while iOS is
not. Now with Microsoft making it possible to run iOS and Android apps on Windows 10... well, that's another story entirely.
For now, these are just rumors in the tech universe (nothing solid
yet); so I'll keep my ears to the ground and
get in contact with my sources to keep you updated. Keep visiting
for more updates! Cheerio!
