Samsung Gear S2's iOS compatibility might arrive this month. The release date for the anticipated update might have been revealed by Samsung UK's head.

Earlier rumors about Samsung Gear S2's iOS compatibility revealed that the update will arrive at some point this 2016. However, a recent report from Phone Arena, citing Kyle Brown, the Head of Product Launch Programmes at Samsung UK, may have just disclosed that the iOS support will roll out mid-January.

A previous report from Latin Post cited Sam Mobile's post confirming that Samsung is creating a Gear Manager compatible for iOS devices.  The iOS support will enable iPhone users to connect their Apple smartphone to the wearable device from the South Korean tech giant.

iOS support for Samsung Gear S2 is coming. Sam Mobile confirmed on their report, citing their insiders, that the South Korean tech giant is developing a Gear Manager app for iOS.

However, Phone Arena's report noted the iOS users will not have the full benefits and features supported by Samsung Gear S2. For instance, Samsung Pay is expected to arrive to the Gear S2 this year but, given that this feature only works with Samsung mobile phones, it is safe to assume that iOS device users with Gear S2 will not be able to take advantage of the payment service from Samsung.

Samsung Pay is the South Korean giant's version of the Cupertino-based payment service called Apple Pay.

For those who are not aware of the Samsung's latest smartwatch device, the official website described that the "Gear S2 comes full circle with a durable stainless steel body that sits slim and sleek on your wrist." It can be a "device or all occasions" because the Gear S2's watch bands can be replaced conveniently and customizations are easy to do.

Below is a video from Android Authority sharing its comprehensive review for Samsung Gear S2:

Samsung Gear S2 became available in the market in the last quarter of last year, with October 2015 as its initial release daate. The Samsung smartwatch is currently available in Korea and US.

The smartwatch currently offers compatibility support with Android mobile devices running on Android 4.4 KitKat OS and newer versions. One of the wearable device's vital features is its unique rotating bezel that functions as the main control for the elements showing onscreen.
