Gear S3 compatible with iOS?

[CHRISALLEN3285]

I've been seeing reports all over the internet and rumors on Twitter that the Gear S3 is or will be compatible with iOS. Has anyone else heard anything? I know Samsung hasn't said much about it and I know they're beta testing it out on the Gear S2. It would be really great if the Gear S3 is/will be compatible with iOS.

Yes, there is a beta of the gear manager for IOS floating around on the internet that will allow you to use the S3 with IPhone 7's. Not sure it they will make a version for older iphones.

Beta app Works with iPhone 5s as well - but doesn't look like ALL apps are there.

For example. Unable to find Golf apps to install from iPhone. i read somewhere that app with be available in App Store by end of year. That may solve my problem.

S3 Manager now Available on App Store (No longer a Beta).

Seems to work well, but Can not find Spotify App or Golf GPS Apps.

Wondering if this is an Apple Store Problem Or a Samsung App Manager problem?

Does Samsung Pay work on the Gear S3 while synced with iOS? Trying to determine if Samsung Pay can be used on the watch even though you have an iPhone.

Do you know if you can make and receive phone calls on the Gear S3 if the Gear S3 is connected/paired to an iPhone? What about if the Gear S3 is in standalone mode? Can you make and receive text messages on the Gear S3 if the Gear S3 is connected/paired to an iPhone? What about if the Gear S3 is in standalone mode? Can you use Samsung Pay on the Gear S3 if you have an iPhone?

I saw a video on YouTube from someone who made a video about the Gear Manager app for iOS and the iPhone. In the video he said that Samsung Pay isn't going to be available anymore on your watch. He mentions that you can get text messages on the watch but you can't respond to them.

Here is the video on YouTube
