Pebble, the original smartwatch brand, has announced the launch of two new PebbleOS smartwatches, the Core 2 Duo and the Core Time 2.
However, Pebble's creator, Eric Migicovsky, warns that Apple's restrictions will prevent the new devices from functioning as well as the Apple Watch.
Migicovsky highlights limitations such as the inability to send text messages or iMessages, limited inter-app communication, and the need for App Store approval for updates.
He suggests that customers who are concerned about these limitations consider buying an Android phone instead of an iPhone.
