Here are your Apple Rumors for today:
Wear: A new rumor claims that Google (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) will bring Android Wear to Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS devices, reports MacRumors. The rumor claims that an Android Wear app for iOS is being worked on. The app may be shown off at the company’s I/O developer conference in may. However, it could also be released sooner to compete with the Apple Watch. Google is likely hoping to steal some potential Watch customers away by letting them connect an Android Wear device to their iPhones.
Earbuds: Apple Stores are changing their policies so that customers can try out earbuds before buying them, 9to5Mac notes. The process for trying out earbuds at one of the locations involves a new Demo Kit. The demo kit contains six earbud sample tips that the customer can use to see if they like a pair before buying. Customers get to keep the sample earbud tips and employees use alcohol cleaning swabs to keep the process sanitary.
Watch: Apple Watch will reportedly be available in more countries than just the US when it launches in April, reports BGR. News of the device’s launch outside of the US comes from Tim Cook while he was speaking to Apple Store employees located in Berlin, Germany. Cook confirmed that the device will be released in Germany when it launches, but he didn’t say what other countries it could be available in when it launches. Other European countries are expected to be included in the launch and the company is rumored to be preparing a Watch display in Paris, France.
