📰 Thanks to the Digital Markets Act (DMA), Apple is expanding access in iOS 26.3:
• Proximity pairing
Third-party earbuds and accessories can now pair like AirPods — just bring them close and tap once. No more Bluetooth setup steps.
• Notifications for third-party devices
Non-Apple smartwatches can receive and respond to iPhone notifications (Apple Watch exclusive before). Notifications can go to only one device at a time.
🔧 Testing is already available for EU developers. iOS 26.3 launches late January, 2026
