Notification forwarding seemed like it was always possible. My Pebble over a decade ago was able to receive iOS notifications (but not interact). Does this new feature allow the device to interact with these notifications like an Apple Watch could?
Got a tip for us?

We don't need more "features". Fix the current bugs. Finder is a mess for example.
Improve stability and optimize further the battery life.
As usual, Apple adds shiny new features with every update while introducing a fresh batch of bugs. Despite decades of loyalty, iOS feels like the only operating system that somehow gets worse over time. It is always we will fix it in the next release, and while that works for a while, it grows more irritating with every update. While I am sure the other camp has its own issues, I’m increasingly more interested in testing those waters. 👨🔬

Pretty easy to say and completely worthless when you don't enumerate the features that you actually use.
The other reasoning won't be used is that people already have an Android phone. I do, the $400 price difference was too much to ignore.
This once again demonstrates that Apple doesn't care about the user, other than trapping them in their ecosystem. Why roll out forwarding only where they are facing legal pressure? Because Apple is NOT the friendly, privacy-centric, consumer-friendly firm they pretend to be in the market.
how does notification forwarding for third party watches relate to privacy lol?
Market share is irrelevant. Android vendors selling a gazillion sub $100 phones doesn’t change the success of Apple. A more important number is the user base, which has continually climbed every year.
Amazing a company making such “garbage” products continues to expand their user base. Every single year.
The user base has increased on the Android side just the same, because smartphone adoption is continually increasing globally.
I would love it if it were possible to set the weather wallpaper to display the weather from a specific place, not limited to my current location. I know how the weather is in my current location. I would love to see the weather where my family lives as my iPhone wallpaper. For me, that will be a neat feature.
I upgraded on Monday, I think, and then drove a car a few times, and everything worked smoothly, so no issues there 😁
