I really don't know why everybody, from tv to newspapers to websites to this particular site is so hung up on an Apple product being used. Boston cheated. Their prime defense seems to be that the Yankees cheat too. What brand of device they used to cheat is immaterial. Even if the Apple watch has some feature that allowed it to do things that literally no other watch/band/portable device could do, it wasn't designed with stealing baseball signals in mind. The intent and misuse is purely Boston and their coaches- and evidently mid to upper management since the first thing they did was complain about getting caught while 'others' didn't.
