I have read some reports that my iPhone 5C will not be compatible with the new Apple Watch Series 3, because it cannot be upgraded to IOS 11 which will be required to support Watch OS 4.
is this correct?
I had planned to buy the new watch when released, but can't justify the cost of replacing my phone at the same time.
Thanks.
Hi
No - Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS) requires an iPhone 5s or newer with iOS 11 or newer.
Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) requires an iPhone 6 or newer with iOS 11 or newer.

I really appreciate your rapid and clear response, albeit not the answer I wanted to hear.
You're welcome!
Hi,
Kind of related question, I realise series 2 watches aren't sold by Apple but they're still available. Will these work with a 5C? And do new series 2 watches run OS4, is that the problem? thanks
Will iPhone 5C be compatible with Apple Watch Series 3?
