In a quite surprising move, Apple revealed that, for three long years, it tried to make its smartwatch compatible with the Android universe.
At the end of this period of time, Tim Cook's company will have given up because it was unable to achieve compatibility between the wearable and Google's operating system.

Unexpectedly, Apple has just announced its attempt to make its smartwatch compatible with Android. After many attempts, the company gave up on the project due to “technical limitations”.
The information is being provided by the 9to5Mac website and confirms the many rumors that have circulated over the years about this Apple project.
This confirmation comes after the legal process that the US department brought against Apple became known. This appears to be, in fact, the brand's response to the judicial authorities in its country.
Remember that the Apple Watch only works with the brand's iPhone. Due to this compatibility feature, users of Apple's iconic smartphone who want a wearable can only follow one path: buy a model from the Apple Watch series.
Now, as we previously reported, the US Department of Justice process refers exactly to this lack of compatibility, claiming that it goes against good competition practices.
Although Apple has not yet made a specific official comment on this legal process, this revelation about its wearable seems to be a response that, possibly in the future, will be part of the defense of Tim Cook's company.
But Apple is not the only one to close its wearables ecosystem. Remember that the Galaxy Watch has features that also only work with Samsung smartphones.
