Nope. I don’t believe the Apple Watch is compatible with the Qi standard.

 

Just deleted a ridiculous idea.... I have no iClue, iHate Apple stuff.

 

No likes please, iHate it because it always works. But I'm not willing to pay a lot of money for something I can't control myself or modify the way I like it.

 

Haha was literally about to say… apple stuff is amazing if you can live in their ecosystem. However if you need to step outside it’s an expensive option with limited flexibility then.

I thankfully can live within the apple walls these days. 😜

 

I just LOVE my golden cage!

 

How can you tell if somebody is anti Apple?

Don’t worry they’ll let you know!😂

 

Same as someone pours you a glass of cola...someone who detests Pepsi, will also tell you: bweurk...

 

Nah, nah they won’t. Terwatt.

 

I use a short Apple Watch fast charger in one of the USB-C ports when needed. It’s small and stores in the console when not used.

 

Cuz I'm not modifying the BMW. I have no reason to, I like it the way it is. But if I couldn't modify my phone or tablet, that would be hell...You'd be surprised what I do with Android (and Tasker).

 

Yep, Android has a couple of advantages over Apple indeed!

 

You can charge an Android device on the "wireless" (aka Qi) charging pad. A MagSafe ring on the pad would be great, though. If I could replace the OEM charge pad with a MagSafe one with cooling, I'd be real happy!

Hmm, that’s in addition to the SW suggestions given on another discussion here on this forum. Let’s pile on and ask BMW to give the Apple community some “respect“…

 

Glad this question was asked and answered. Just need to add another watch magnet to my cart.

 

I'm not criticizing but most of the people I know that have iPhones don't realize what can and can't be done they just get an iPhone because that's what their friends have. Most people don't care about all of the customization but I always think it's funny when someone sees something my phone does and doesn't understand how I did that and wants to then do it on their phone but can't or wants to know why my pictures look better.

 

I've found it my whole life to be like this.

People who don't know anything about tech get iPhone.

People who do know about tech and are knowledgable and want to show their knowledgable get android.

People are on the god-tier, working in hardcore tech jobs, know how every single thing works hardware and software down to the tee. Get iPhones.

What I'm saying is, the people who get Android's and flaunt that they think they know more, in reality they actually know less.


I'm an iPhone user but I know how to work around any single tech problem that could possibly come my way. I know how to get iMessage on Android. I know how to make sure iCloud syncs with my gaming PC. Nothing has ever stopped me. But I've met so many Android people who act like they know how tech works but don't even know the correlation between how the component of their hardware works with the software that's installed on it. I like both. I used to have a Oneplus. But what you're saying when you say "when someone sees something my phone does and doesn't understand how I did that." You're talking to the average normie.

I would like to bet you to try to find and explain something on any Android device that I wouldn't understand, and I've been using iPhones exclusively since 2013. (But I've been using jailbroken iPod touches since I was in middle school. First jailbroke my iPod on iPhone OS 1.1.4 back in 2007)

 

I thought people bought android because is cheaper, but now I see that some folks actually prefer android over apple fir other reasons.

 

On the high end, Androids and Apples are very similar. I've had both and the biggest difference came down to app. I've had some apps that didn't work on Androids while others didn't work on Apples. All other tech specs really boil down to operating system approaches that most average users will never really notice.

 

Maybe we should go back to the original question....De gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum
