Nope. In order for it to work with non-Samsung devices you need to install Gear Manager and Atb manager apps on your devices, no way to do that with iphone.
Edit: Did a quick search online and someone said they connected it to an iPhone and it did make calls. When you get it try using blutooth and connect it to your iphone.

wont work

The gear 2 arrived and not visible to the iphone but works great with my note 3 maybe there will be a test firmware out soon.

hey guys,
I have a gear 2 neo and a iphone 5s,
when you go on watch and go to settings, bluetooth and select "make device visible" you can pair to an iPhone.

make a call with the dialer
iphone ringtone comes through when receiving call
receiving a call.
call logs
contacts
not working
siri
all other apps that communicate with phone so watch-on heart rate and pedometer etc still work.

How were you able to check off the make device visible?
It's grayed out.

disconnect bluetooth from host android device.....
Cheers

Yep that did it. Works now.
All we need is for samsung to release an app to get the other functions working now.

Wow, hope that happens for you guys - the voice commands are an awesome part of the watch. Not sure if Apple will allow the watch to ever hook into Siri, though. I'm suspecting you may have to wait for Apple to release theirs.

Works indeed on my iPhone 5S, nice
Too bad no other notifications (SMS, Whatsapp, ...) are sent to the iPhone..
Hopefully with a jailbreak tweak? + rooted Gear 2?

So just a quick recap:
The Gear 2 does connect with the iPhone through BT and calling and receiving calls works, as well as contacts and call logs.
Can someone confirm?

guys by know you should know that Apple and samsung have been in lawsuit to one another so no way they have any of there gear to work with iPhone

So Calls and some other functions work, and if you don't have an android device with Bluetooth you can still install gear 2 apps with a computer and the Tizen SDK (adb ripoff) as long as you have the install package

WHAT?!

Iphone can work with the Galaxy Gear 2 and make calls, see contacts? I think misunderstood or you are joking.

I've only managed to connect by BT to see the number calling you (no contact name), but I can not see the contacts or notifications ... NEED HELP!

got a question for anybody who's watching this thread: when i try to connect my gear 2 to my iphone 5s(jailbroken) it always ask me to factory reset my gear 2 neo. any suggestions as to why it's doing that or any solutions??

It does that whenever you pair to a new device. Is designed to only be paired to one phone so it will reset if that phone changes.

I am facing the exact same problem with my Tizen Gear 1. I have set it up with an android device, but when I try to connect with an iPhone the God damned watch wants to reset itself, so I cannot connect it,
The crazy thing is that I have done it in the past. I have been using my Tizen Gear 1 with my 5S for quite some time, I do not remember having to deal with this error message.
Any help?

Your gear is going to reset every time you repair it. When it goes to the setup connection screen, tap the watch icon in the top left about 20-25 times, it will then show a message at the bottum. After that message disappears hold down on the watch icon until you get to the clock screen. This will activate without connection. Then go to setting>connections>Bluetooth and hit make visible. Your iPhone will show it as 'gear 2 (xxxx) hit that and it will pair. The only thing working so far are the stand alone apps and calling.

No connection with Gear S2 and Note Edge

Unfortunately i don't get any connection with my Gear S2 and my Note edge. I have the Gear Manager from the Samsung App Store and Android 5.0.1 (no root)..
Maybe some of you have the same problem and a solution.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english...

Go to http://apps.samsung.com/Gear and click Samsung device. I think the Gear S2 has a newer Gear manager which is not on Samsungs app store. It should be on Google Play store.

Thank you for your replay. The App in the Play Store is only for non Samsung phones. I can not install this Version on my Note Edge.
The other Version is the same like the App in the Samsung App Store.

I'm having a similar issue on my SM-N9200. No matter what I try when attempting to connect the S2 with gear manager nothing works. From everything I can tell I have the latest version and there are no updates available in the Samsung store, or software updates. Very frustrating.

Okay, and im assuming you have tried to factory reset the Gear S2 and toggle the Bluetooth on and off on your phone? When the gear manager app scans for devices, does your watch show up as discovered? Or does it not show up at all. Can you search for the watch by going to the Bluetooth utility on your watch? I guess the last step would be to contact Samsung support on this issue. It seems like there have been a lot of known bugs since the release of the watch.

I already speak with the samsung support. BUt they know now soluton. The will check my problem and maybe they will fix the bug.
When i scan with bluetooth directly i can find the watch but the gear manager will not find the watch. i also make a factory reset after i check if the watch works with an old LG G2, it does, but not with the note edge.

Yes I try it a lot. Also with older versions of the gear manager. But nothing works.

Thats really weird. Im wondering if the watch is defective? Can you swap it for a new one?

No, I think the watch is okay because the watch works with the lg g2 and the gear manager for non samsung devices but not with the note edge and the gear manager for galaxy devices.
I think it is a software problem from the gear manager.

Oh yeah, if you can connect with another device then it has to be software.

Mines the same. I can connect with another phone, just not my galaxy note 5.

What Android version and gear manager version do you have?

An update to Gear Manager has been released and the Note Edge can now connect to the Gear S2

And the Play Store update to the Gear app from yesterday has borked my BT connection on my Nexus 5 that I also upgraded to Marshmallow. S2 will no longer connect to Nexus 5.

I can't seem to get my S2 to connect to my LG G3 running 5.1.1 BLisspop.
I think I might just have to return this.
schitt.

Connection to Note 3
I can confirm this does not work on my Note 3 unless I'm running a Touchwiz rom. I had (and loved) the AICP rom and none of these files will help it connect. I get the standard "modified software" message. When I installed the stock rom w/tweaks, it connects fine.
So I couldn't use the "Samsung phone" version of Gear manager because while it's a Samsung phone, it wasn't running Samsung software. But I couldn't use the "Non-Samsung phone" version because it still sees it as a Samsung phone and I get the "incompatible with this device" message.
I have to decide between the AICP rom and my old Gear Live or the touchwiz garbage (w/Nova launcher to hide it) and the Gear S2..

same problem here
Hi Guys,
I have same problem. I got Gear S2 Classic from Korea and it won't connect to my S6 Edge. I downloaded to latest gear manager app version 2.2.15092142 . but it still won't connect and give message "check if your phone is compatible and if the gear manager app needs to be updated, then try again" I have factory reset both the phone and the gear but still same issue.
anyone got a solution?
Thanks

I have exactly the same problem, very disappointing. Only received the watch for Christmas and straightaway I hit a problem.

I'm sorry to of your problems, I too received mine for christmas this morning. Have root s5 and connect right away and updated not a single problem so far.( Other not enough apps for my likeing )
Going to ask the obvious, have you tried reseting the watch ?

Hi all,
Mine was just the same issue, after reading a bit you should reset the watch after updating and the phone too. But disconnect and erase the connection phone <-> watch too. After new pairing all was ok.

Can you explain steps required? I have same issue after gear manager update. I would like not to hard reset my phone. I'm on non-rooted Note 4 with lollipop 5.1.1. It used to work excellent until last update.

I did back track latest apps installs and updates on my phone and I wonder if Gear Manager is main source of the problem.
Night before I discovered that gear manager stopped working correctly, I did mandatory update for few of Oculus apps for my Gear VR.
My question is: do people with Gear Manager problem have any Oculus apps installed on their phones?

Samsung gear s3 frontier and xiaomi Mi5

Hello I have question, do you know if Mi 5 is compatible with the smartwatch Samsung s 3?
I am going to buy but I am not sure if both of them are working together.

Yes i have both of them and they are working well.

Hi there,
just new to this forums.
Do you use the standard Samsung Software to connect your Gear S3 to the phone or some third party tools?
I tried to sync a Gear fit2 with the samsung gear software.. The devices connect but no software downloads can be done. Maybe this has something to do with missing software rights?
Thank you for a quick heads up.

I have both, and they work fine until I move away from my phone and they disconnect. My issue is that when I go back close to my phone, sometimes they don't reconnect automatically.
Not sure if it's something I need to change in phone's settings?
It wasn't happening with the watch and my old Galaxy S4...

The reconnection issue is something that I had using my S3 note and the old Gear1.
Was fixed with the newest software versions.
Which software components do you use connectiong your Gear S3 to the Mi5?

I believe they are the latest?

I have been using the pair for couple of weeks. It works fine for call and notification but it sometimes randomly disconnected even they sat next to each other. I'm trying to setup permission for those app/plugin. Nothing seems to work (still keeping disconnected) any suggestions?

General Problems pairing GW4 Classic with Pixel Pro 6

I've been having problems - the watch (Galaxy Watch 4) and phone (6 Pro) both pair initially just fine. But if I restart my phone, the phone won't reconnect to the watch, and the galaxy wearable app seems to have forgotten the watch. The only way to reconnect them is to reset the watch completely.
A further problem I seem to be having with the phone is that sometimes the "recents" button will just stop working. The only way to get it to work again so far has been to restart the phone. Which then brings me back to my pairing problem with the watch.
It's an annoying situation. Anyone else experience anything like this before?

No, can't say I have...My GW4 has been working fine on my P6P. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Same here. Try reinstalling the galaxy wear app and also the Google wear app from play store.
Has anyone been able to get the battery share function working between 6 pro and GW4?

I'm not sure if it ever will because Samsung decided to use a modified version of Qi wireless charging on the GW4... Seems to work on some from some searching but not all.
