Does Apple Watch 6 require an iPhone?
Apple Watch is more than just a typical watch, it is one of Apple’s luxurious optional gadgets that provides several features such as tracking every activity, messaging via Apple messages, Apple Mail, Apple calendar, etc. It can be used to make or receive calls and also it supports the Siri feature and many more when paired to an iPhone device.
Unfortunately, all of these great features will not work if Apple Watch is not paired with an iPhone. And even more, unfortunately, not every Apple Watch works with every iPhone.
So, which iPhones are compatible with it?
This Apple Watch Series requires an iPhone 6s or newer, running iOS 14 or newer.
Disadvantages of Apple Watch Series 6
Price
As we all know, the Apple brand is expensive compared to other brands. Series 6 will never be cheap but it’s actually not so expensive. It costs $399 for an aluminum body and $499 for stainless steel body with a cellular connection. The Watch Series 4 only costs $329 which is a little bit cheaper than Apple Watch Series 6 costs.
Low battery life
Battery life is an essential aspect of all electronic products. Apple Watch Series 6 has a battery life of 18 hours which is actually lower than series 4, 3, and 2.
Limited Compatibility
An Apple Watch will only pair with an iPhone, not with an Android smartphone. As we discussed earlier, it can only be paired with Phone 6s or newer.
Is the Apple Series 6 watch worth buying?
Decision-making about whether you should buy a luxurious product or not always is a battle with two things in mind – benefits, and drawbacks. Apple Watch Series 6 is not an exception to the rule. Series 6 comes with numerous benefits, but it has several shortcomings as well. One thing to note also is if you have the budget to buy The Watch Series 6 and not just spending your last money to have it.
I would suggest if you already have an Apple Watch Series 5, you should not rush into Series 6 – buying. Stay with it for at least a couple of years. The Series 5 is a fast watch with an always-on display that, in my opinion, is even better than the Apple Watch SE.
The Apple Watch Series 6 has many other upgrades from the 5 Series including:
– New design and display with a larger screen
– Ion-X glass for a harder/shatter-resistant display
– Red Dot award winner for its improved Haptic Feedback
– New Digital Crown
Although it has great new features, I would still suggest not upgrade yet if you are coming from Series 5. The decision is somehow still up to you.
On the other hand, if you only have Apple Watch Series 3 or below, Apple Watch Series 6 is a great upgrade. Apple Watch Series 6 has numerous benefits and cool features that will surely make your life easier and better.
