Apple Watch series 9 compatible with iPhone SE with iOS17 ? I have a iPhone SE (2ndGeneration) with iOS17, can I use it with the new Apple Watch series 9 ? The only information I see is "Apple Watch Series 9 require iPhone Xs or later with iOS 17 or later." I think iPhone SE 2nd generation is posterior to iPhone Xs, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Inquiry about Compatibility: iPhone 5s and Apple Watch Series 7 Dear Apple Support Team, I hope you're doing well. I have a quick question regarding the compatibility between my iPhone 5s and the latest Apple Watch Series 7. Can the iPhone 5s connect to the Apple Watch Series 7? As an iPhone 5s user, I'm eager to know if it's possible to pair my device with the new Apple Watch Series 7. I've had difficulty finding definitive information about their compatibility, especially considering the potential limitations of older iPhone models when connecting to newer Apple Watch versions. Could you kindly provide guidance or information on whether the iPhone 5s is compatible with the Apple Watch Series 7? Additionally, I'd appreciate any specific requirements or considerations necessary for this pairing. Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I'm eagerly awaiting your response. Best regards

Pairing a watch on 10 requires an iPhone XR, iPhone XS, or any newer unit.
