draft / xpost - apple watch being tied to iPhone is highly anti-competitive and apple should be ordered to enable apple watch to be able to be used by anyone, regardless of their phone choice.
"Buy an iPhone" is not an answer to "I cannot use Apple watch because I don't have an iPhone"
"Buy another watch" is not an answer either.
They make nice watches, but their phone operating system is missing a core feature of a secure operating system: multiple user profiles.
People should be able to choose the apple watch while choosing an operating system that has multiple user profiles, and iPhone lacks multiple user profiles.
"Then use Android, and get a different watch"
Ok I'll use a pixel phone, because they support multiple user profiles, a core feature of security/privacy, but why can't I, after 10 years of apple watch existing...why can't users of pixel phones buy an apple watch if they want. Either that, or at least bring multiple user profiles to iPhone.
People should be able to buy apple watch (or any watch) regardless of their phone choice.
I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not the person to craft an argument on this, but I would hope legal types could make legal arguments against apple requiring iPhone in order to use Apple watch.
