Apple was ordered by EU antitrust regulators today to open up its closed ecosystem to rivals, with the latter spelling out details on how to go about it in line with the bloc's landmark rules and where non-compliance could lead to an investigation and fines.

The features of a secondary device should not be locked, an smart watch should be capable of working to the same standard as an apple watch with an iphone.

I also think that the Apple watch should work on Android.

If apple want it to yes. The system access should not be locked away for a company to produce their own tech. It isnt innovative, competitive or productive.

Apple like their little walled gardens though so they'll never enable that.

I don't care what Apple wants, I care what I want and what other consumers want. If I paid for a device I should be able to use that device in whatever way I feel like and the company that made it don't get an opinion.
