Samsung has reportedly decided to release all of its apps to the iOS by the end of this year. The first device to officially witness this change is the Gear S2 Smartwatch. According to the report, the applications will offer iOS support to Samsung’s Gear 2 smartwatch, the Gear Fit health and exercise tracker, and the comprehensive S Health suite.

Some insider reports say that Samsung is also working on a newer version of the Smart Camera app for iOS, which might introduce an overhauled UI to the surface.

It has been a tough contest between Samsung and Apple over the years but the South Korean company has finalized the plan for cross-platform support just because it has seen a consistent drop in sales of high-end smartphones last year.

This changeover will increase utility of Samsung devices as it will provide an opportunity to Galaxy users to switch over to iPhone in terms of data and apps compatibility. Samsung’s Consumer Electronics Division has made sense by allowing use of iOS to relatively low income owners who can’t afford to have an iPhone.

However, it’s still unclear when all other apps of Samsung are expected to come to iOS, but it’s unlikely they will all arrive at the same time.

One of the biggest benefits for Samsung on releasing its apps to iOS is likely to be that its existing owners will not move away to an iPhone when they have an option to use iOS on their devices. The company has taken this decision at a vital stage (start of a new year), when it has to be focused on maintaining flagship smartphone sales, a rather greater challenge.

Facing another division at the moment, may hamper company’s strategy, vital for its fortune and future in the global market.
