Delhi : As a personal gadget connected to a specific user's Apple ID, the Apple Watch can only sync with one iPhone at a time, and this was clearly a design decision made by Apple. Data and settings for the watch are synced with the iPhone, and security measures need pairing. This guarantees the security of data and settings and the smooth operation of the watch with its intended iPhone partner. Nevertheless, do you find it annoying that you can only link it with one device at once? You might soon be able to sync your Apple Watch with various Apple devices, including an iPad and a Mac, says a Twitter user going by the handle @analyst941.

Prior to its release, the insider foresaw Dynamic Island on iPhones.

A glimmer of hope that the tipster's most recent forecast might be accurate comes from the fact that he correctly predicted the Dynamic Island feature before it was revealed last year. Even if there is no official confirmation, the idea of using Apple Watches with multiple devices is undoubtedly intriguing. Imagine being able to see your progress while your Apple Watch tracks your Apple Fitness+ workouts on your iPad. Alternatively, you might use your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac or finish an online Apple Pay transaction. There are countless options!

Although we don't yet know when this feature will launch or which Apple Watch models will support it, it's possible that it may appear in subsequent upgrades like watchOS 10, iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS 14 among others. It could also be postponed until the 2024 upgrades. Along with his forecast regarding the Apple Watch, @analyst941 has made some intriguing predictions about upcoming features of iOS 17, which will be revealed on June 5th during the keynote address of the WWDC 2023 Developer's Conference. One can't help but be intrigued by the idea that solid-state buttons would take the place of mechanical buttons on the future premium iPhone 15 models, even though some of his forecasts may seem far-fetched.

While some experts don't agree with this forecast, @analyst941 stands by it and says that the development team is too closely collaborating with new hardware right now to change course. Even if they don't materialise, hearing rumours and forecasts about new technological advancements is always interesting. We'll just have to wait for Apple to confirm these rumours in the interim as we relax. But one thing is certain: Apple technology's future is certainly very promising!
