New Apple Watch didn’t pair stating iPhone not updated. Updated iPhone and it still won’t pair stating iPhone not updated. Both have been restarted
Thanks! That’s very frustrating because I have an iPhone X. They won’t update to 17 so I guess my new watch won’t work. I’ll be returning it since I have no reason to update my phone. Appreciate the information!!
I believe your phone will need to be running iOS 17 to work with a new Apple Watch.
What is the existing version of iOS on the iPhone?
iOS 16.7
You are welcome. Sorry, the news wasn’t better.
New Apple Watch not pairing with phone that is up to date
