Google on Monday rolled out Android Wear for iOS, allowing consumers to pair the iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6 or 6 Plus running iOS 8.2 and above with an Android Wear watch. They’ll be able to check phone calls, messages and notifications; track fitness; and use Google Now instead of Siri to get smart help from their iPhones. Using Google Now instead of Siri is “a cute touch,” observed Jeff Orr, a senior practice director at ABI Research. “You’re not asking Siri a question — you’re asking Google Voice.”
