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.

    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 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.

    It sounds to me that you are migrating from a PC computer to a Mac.
    To the extent that you are using Microsoft Office on your PC, you should just purchase Microsoft Office 2011 for your Mac.  All of your Word, Excel and PowerPoint files should open easily in Office 2011.  Your contact/mail program, Outlook, is now also supported in Office 2011, but I personally have no experience in cross-platform data transfer for Outlook.  Somewith with cross-platform Outlook experience, please jump in!

  • Is the 12W charger compatible with ipad mini? will it damage my ipad or the battery?

    the 5v charger which came with the ipad mini is charging too slow...
    am just wondering if the 12w charger can be used to charge my ipad mini?
    will it damage the ipad mini itself or the battery?

    The 12W charger from Apple will in fact charge the Mini just fine. There is no issue with using that charger. It supports amongst other things the iPad mini as per the compatibility list here:

  • When the apple watch is released will it be funtional with my iPad if I don't have a iPhone?

    When the apple watch is released will it be funtional with my ipad if I don't have a iphone?

    Found this in the Watch area "Features are subject to change and may not be available in all regions or all languages. Requires iPhone 5 or later." So, it looks like it's the way stated above.

    Facebook videos are still working for me in the Facebook App (using iOS 7.0.6).
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • Why can't I get the App "Deskconnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad as well as Mac and Iphone?

    Why can't I get the App "DeskConnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad, Iphone and Mac.  I was able to download onto Mac and Iphone but it is not recognized for Ipad?

    I liked the idea of this app so I went looking for it and have now installed it on my Mac, iPhone and finally my iPad.
    This app, although it will run on the iPad is actually an iPhone/iPod app, as suggested above. So the only way to get it on my iPad was to search for it as an iPhone app in the App Store app on my iPad. Then it came up as an app that I could install on the iPad.

    No, not the 1st gen iPads... The new iOS 6 will run on the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 5; the iPad 2 and third-generation iPad; and the fourth- and fifth-generation iPod touch.
