Lack of keyboard on Series 6 and earlier

[JupoDupo]

Pretty disappointed the s7 is getting a proper keyboard but not the earlier larger screen watches. I know the s7 is a bit bigger but damn they could have included it for s6, I suspect they just wanted to keep it as a reason to upgrade given there are no major sensor changes in the s7.

Of course! Apple did that every year, so disappointed

They have to have some kind of selling point this year for the series 7. Let’s be honest, this update is possibly the worst in Apple Watch’s history.

Is this confirmed that it won’t appear in older Apple Watches? If not it really sucks that they killed that third party keyboard.

I would say its 99% sure for sure because I would have expected it to be in the dev builds and announced at WWDC.
People will be updating to RC/GM right now so I guess we will know.

Don't be too disappointed cause you most likely won't be able to use a swipe keyboard in your native language (if you ain't English). Remember, that they still haven't developed it for everybody on ios 15.

Pretty annoying as they cannot really say it just works on the 41mm, but not the 44mm!
