Any claim they make can be validated through discovery. I doubt they would lie, and I’m sure they’d love to increase Watch revenue by addressing the other half

  The idea is not to increase watch revenue, but to get people into the whole ecosystem and keep them there

  It doesn't have to be a lie to be a poor excuse. The technical limitations could be something along the lines of they couldn't find a way to provide an app that wouldn't allow third parties to bypass apple gatekeeping of apple watches. Technically truthful, but in an antitrust context maybe less of a valid reasoning, but still allows them to redirect the public narrative. Edit: Sounds like it was about privacy concerns, so probably something like there not being a completely foolproof way of preventing a third party from grabbing health data from the android app.

  > Any claim they make can be validated through discovery. I doubt they would lie The claim would hold up even if it were a lie. "We concluded that Androids API wasn't compatible with the Apple Watch". Not a lie, but obviously still a complete lie. > and I’m sure they’d love to increase Watch revenue by addressing the other half of the duopoly. What they would love way _more_ is lock-in. You want this new shiny? It's only in the Apple ecosystem.
