According to a rumor from Twitter user @analyst941, Apple is reportedly working on software updates that would allow Apple Watch to pair with multiple devices, including iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Currently, an Apple Watch can only be paired with one iPhone, with no facility to pair or sync it to other devices in the Apple ecosystem. Once an Apple Watch is paired with an iPhone, it can be used alongside an iPad for workout routines and with a Mac for unlocking the device and authorizing Apple Pay transactions.

The exact implementation of the new pairing/syncing process is unknown, but iCloud syncing is a possible solution, similar to how AirPods work across devices. The timing of this change is still unclear, with no information on whether it will be rolled out this year or in 2024.

While @analyst941 correctly leaked information about iPhone 14 Pro's Dynamic Island before its announcement last year, the credibility of this latest rumor remains unverified.
