Is apple watch compatible with iPhone 5S

Is Apple watch compatible with iPhone 5S? Does it work seamlessly or has restrictions as 5S is an old model?

This is what is listed on the  Watch general information page:
Apple Watch requires an iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6, or 6 Plus and iOS 8.2, which includes the new Apple Watch app.

    Is the apple watch compatible with the iPod touch 5

    The only thing Apple has said is that it needs an iPhone to be fully functional.  Nothing about any other device.

  • Is the apple watch compatible with iPod touch

    I Know the apple watch is compatible with iPhone but what about iPod touch? Would it work with Bluetooth?

    I do know that it will work with the iPhone 5 and later, and I doubt that Apple wouldn't make the Apple Watch compatible with the iPod Touch. The fact that the Apple Watch will be able to make calls concerns me. You can not make calls on the iPod Touch with any built-in app, so that might make the iPod Touch excluded from being compatible with the Apple Watch. I am almost one hundred percent sure that IF the Apple Watch is compatible with the iPod Touch it will only be compatible with the 5th generation.

  • Is the Apple Watch compatible with iPad?

    I Saw the Apple Watch released this morning and I'm wondering if it's compatible with the iPad Mini Retina or iPod Touch 5th Gen. iPod.

    There are no known hardware and software limitations to compatibility. Therefore, it could be at least limited compatibility. I think it wouldn't hurt Apple Inc. to issue the watch with at least limited compatibility. I think it would be good for the existing customer base. However, we don't know what the marketing/business strategy Apple is pursuing. In any case, after initial launch they could issue an update that extends the compatibility. The more user uses Apple products and services the more reasonable for him to switch to Apple ecosystem entirely, so, the final decision could be in the air. Supporting customers should demand the full compatibility. With Apple and customers it's always about a game of negotiation between them. Customers demand new feature / complaint about something, and Apple make a consensus move, between their long-term vision and customers' demands.

  • Will Apple Watch work with iPhone 4S?

    Just wanted to know if I had to upgrade my phone to use Apple Watch?

    That is a pain.
    I hoped too that as it has iOS8 on the cards that it would be able to talk Apple Watch.
    I've read somewhere that iOS8 will not have all the features that the 5 onwards will get, but I suppose that's not surprising. To get iOS8 though is good.
    That doesn't answer the question of what the tech reason is, if there is one. Could even be something as silly as it impacting battery life or something, who knows.

  • Can/will my Apple Watch talk with my Macbook Pro?  Do I always have to be within distance of iPhone?

    Can/will my Apple Watch talk with my Macbook Pro? 
    Do I always have to be within distance of iPhone?

    No, the watch can only link to an iPhone. However, it can do several things even when out of range of the iPhone — http://help.apple.com/watch/#/apd0443fb403

  • Is all usb cable including retractable ones are compatible with iPhone 3G?

    I want purchase a retractable cable on eBay but not sure if it's compatible with iPhone 3G since there is one particular auction says the USB cable is not compatible with iPhone 3G. How come? I thought all cables are universal. Thanks

    I routinely use my iPhone 2G, iPod, and iPhone 3G cables with each other and have no problems...however, I aquired a 3rd party cable (for it's extended length), and it prevented my from syncing my 2G iPhone. It charges both iPhones (when connected to a wall charger). I have not tried it with my 3G phone to sync.
    The short answer is, Apple cables seem to work interchangeably and no problems.

    I'm trying to erase the restored backup on my MacBook Pro that was meant for my iPhone 5... I found out the software is corrupted and continued to affect my phone. Where do I find it And how do I erase it to start all over?
    On a Mac your backups are in /Users/<your username>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    (Open Finder, hold the Option key, and select "Library" from the Go menu to get to your user's Library folder.)
    In Windows, the fastest way to get to your backup folders is:
    - (Windows 7 and below) Start -> Run -> type %appdata% (with the percents) and press return.
    - (Windows 8) Search -> type %appdata% (with the percents) and press return.
    From Application Data, navigate to Apple Computer, Inc. -> MobileSync -> Backup.
    You can match your device identifier with the backup folder name by clicking on the Serial Number field in iTunes (which will switch it to your device identifier.) Delete (or rename, if you're worried about making a mistake) the folder with the matching identifier.
    I know this thread is about a corrupt backup blocking updating the backup process, but in case anyone is having a corrupt backup blocking a restore (a much scarier problem,) and you don't have the original device/data to make a new backup, I hope you'll take a look at the information I've been writing about fixing backups on my company's blog:
    http://deciphertools.com/blog/2014_07_11_itunes_could_not_restore_backup_corrupt /
    We have been looking at fixing the corrupted backups, which may be helpful for you!
    (Note: As I mentioned, I work for the company I'm linking to above, so I stand to benefit, either financially or otherwise, from the links I'm recommending.)

  • Is iOS 6.1.3 compatible with iphone 4?

    Because of previous iPhone devices that I've had, I'm always reluctant to upgrade to the latest iOS versions.  My devices always never work as originally purchased and I see thousands of requests on how to revert back to previous versions.  Is iOS 6.1.3 compatible with iphone 4 and what problems will I encounter?  Since this OS is developed for a completely different device, then I'm sure there's bound to be some problems.

    Well, millions of users have updated with zero issues. Don't go by what you read here, this place is like a hospital emergency room, only users with issues come here.

    You may wish to check the sabra storm website and/or their forums to see if

    Have you put the sabra storm in pairing mode? Does the iPhone 6 see it?

    If yes, you may need to have the sabra storm delete/forget that link first?
