A new rumor says the Apple Watch will soon be able to sync with multiple Apple devices, not just your iPhone.

The change could be coming as soon as June at WWDC23 with watchOS 10.

If true, it’s an important step toward making the watch more of a standalone device rather than a satellite gadget. After all, Apple Watch already has its own App Store (which no one uses).

One more thing ...

❝

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

— Steve Jobs, 2005.
