Google renamed Android Wear and wants to attract iPhone users

The “smart” watches have become the Wear OS operating system.

Google changed the name and concept of the “smart” watches Android Wear: Wear OS is an operating system for all wearable devices. The company wants to attract more iPhone users thanks to the compatibility of the system with iOS.

“Every third user of Android Wear in 2017 is the owner of the iPhone,” said Google. The owners of devices on iOS can use the "smart" clock from the company since 2015, but with limited functions.

We announced a new name that better reflects technology and our vision, and most importantly people who wear a watch. Now we are a Google Wear OS - an operating system for everyone.

In early May, Google will hold a I/O conference, which, apparently, will reveal more details about Wear OS. In the near future, the new name and logo will appear on all devices of the company.
