Apple, this is ridiculous and it’s coercion, ransom, that my new Apple Watch 3 will not pair to my perfectly working iPhone 6 Plus because Apple won’t upgrade the software on the 6plus to iOS 13 but require it for the watch to pair. RIDICULOUS!!!

There has to be another answer other than returning the watch or buying a newer phone. What is it?

If your profile is up to date then your iphone 6 is updated as far as it will go,it won't go higher than ios12.And to pair with a new watch 3 or 5 you require ios13
