Making demands here achieves nothing at all. This is simply a forum of users of Apple products. Your ultimatums fall entirely on deaf ears when you make posts like that here. Quite honestly, nobody here cares what make or model of hardware you use to meet your needs, wishes and desires.

I love Apple device but if they don't allow me to use Freestyle Libre, I'll change all my device to Samsung!

Dear Apple, this is important for us!

Samsung had nothing to do with it, during development of the device BT 4.0 and the Low Power protocol was not available so Abbott released their first model as an NFC device only. They do not have a US approved device but they are currently working on their second generation version and it will reportedly include Bluetooth so your problem will be solved if you upgrade.

Did you right to Abbott Laboratories site and demand that they have a BT model?

If you do decide to go through with your threat use the same water cautions with the Galaxy S7 as you would your iPhone, their water resistant claims were significantly overstated. Despite temptations to do so do not root your phone. It has little security as it is, if you root it then it will have almost no security. But also be careful purchasing in the Google Play Store. If you decide to add a wearable resist the temptation to save money and buy the first generation Samsung watch and go for the 2. If you are also going to go with Windows computers be sure to budget for anti spyware/antivirus software (you need at least 3) and enjoy Windows 10.

Please send a link to your information about a second edition of freestyle libre with BT???

I think its not correct!

i will change to a android smartphone with open NFC, than I smile to use NFC for my freestyle libre!!!! ;-)

It was mentioned in a couple of reviews that I read regarding the Freestyle Libre. If Abbott expects to be able to make a dent in the US market they would need to have a device that is BT compatible.

Here is a hint for you: I don't care at all what type of smartphone you use. Go buy any smartphone you want that supports full NFC communication and heed the issues I gave in a previous post. In other words buy the right tool that you need for your purposes. I'll smile with you.

i don't think so and there a no information about that!

I hope Apple read this and think about open the NFC to developers!!!

Really bad from apple no to open the NFC for developers.... i think apple pay is also secure with open nfc ....

So you are saying I am a liar? Again, I don't really care.

Apple does not read anything here as was noted earlier in this thread.

Apple Pay only uses NFC to identify the pay device and send a highly encrypted token. That is it. The NFC chip is connected via the security enclave. Apple is not going to give outside developers access to the security enclave. If you do not believe this read the stories regarding the FBI trying to get access to information on the iPhones after a terrorist incident.

Enjoy your Galaxy 7.

thanks, i think I will change to Samsung S7 or the new Google 5P.

Apple has time until september to unlock nfc, if there is no movement from apple i will sell iPhone, iPad, apple watch, iMac and apple tv and i will change with all my devices to Android system.

As I just told you Apple will not open their NFC/Security Enclave to outside developers and I explained why. I can guarantee you it will not happen by September. I probably not next December. Since NFC has not caught on like it was originally intended (it can't do headphones, but it can "assist" you in pairing your headphones: big whoop) it certainly isn't the technology of the future.

How many times have you contacted Abbott and asked them to develop a Bluetooth version?

How much do you want for your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch? As far as your iMac there is no android desktop computer you will have to go with Windows or Linux. I recommend the latter.

Good luck with your new devices and I hope you keep your diabetes under control.

BYE BYE APPLE, Apple Watch and Apple TV is sold and i buy Chromecast TV and ordered Acer Chromebase 24 and I use google cloud instead of icloud, and i quit apple music for google music...

Once a month I replace all my apple devices.

Apple - I was very happy but i must sold there hardware because you dont open the NFC ....

I forgot, apple Timecapsule is already sold :-)

Hope you got some decent money for all of that, you should have as Apple has much higher resale than other devices. Hope you enjoy your new equipment and Freestyle Libre meets all of your needs.

No worries, Ambrosia Systems(ambrosiasys.com) is launching a device in early Feburary 2017 which will connect FreeStyle Libre Sensor to iOS and android mobile app so that users of FS Libre can see reading every 5 minutes on android as well as on iPhone(just like Dexcom system but at less than half the cost). This device would be waterproof and work as long as FS Libre works without recharging the battery.

Sad!

With the excuse of protecting data they provide an inferior service.

They may not bounce to the developers, but as a consumer I feel that they sold me a capped phone.

Thanks for your answer!
