Samsung seems all set to eventually embrace iOS, as a report claims that the vast majority of Samsung's finest apps (if not all) are making their way to iPhones in the near future.
It's no secret that Samsung has now a number of apps on the Apple App Store. In fact, it was not too long ago when the company revealed its plans to bring iOS support for the Gear S2.
Fast forward to today, SamMobile, citing inside sources, has revealed that the firm "is planning to bring most of its apps (if not all)" to iOS later within the year.
It appears that the Gear Fit Manager will soon show up on iOS. The app will enable you to pair Samsung's Gear Fit smartwatch with the iPhone, similar to Pebble's app for iOS.
The Galaxy-maker could also be working on its S Health app for the iPhone, an app used to monitor day-to-day activities, sleep, food consumption plus workouts. This sleek app could be added to the growing number of health monitoring apps on Apple's iOS platform soon.
What's more, it sounds as if Samsung is likewise beefing up one of its apps already available on iOS, the Smart Camera app. It appears like the iOS version of the photo-snapping app could already be in the works. The app will permit iPhone users to remotely control Samsung Smart Cameras.
That's not all Samsung is putting to the table, as the company is also said to be adding iOS support for the Galaxy View, by coming up with the Remote Control plus Family Square apps for iOS.
Sad to say, the report's sources did not go into the details of exactly when these apps will land on iOS.
The report claims Samsung's move is critical to make certain that its non-smartphone devices communicate effortlessly with devices, irrespective of operating system.
"Samsung surely understands that it needs to add support for iOS to increase the adoption of its connected devices as the company has some big plans for a connected home using its IoT platform," says the report.
