Can anyone confirm that the network API does NOT support a WiFi connection to the iPhone in preference to BT (I can't see anything that suggests this is possible). I understand that WiFi will be used to connect the devices where BT is unavailable because of distance. I would like a greater bandwidth for data transfer between the devices than is possible via BT LE 4.
Thanks
During the WWDC sessions it was made clear that apple is going to determine when it is approprate to use Wifi and when it going to use bluetooth. My guess is that Apple is taking battery life into account heavily and for high bandwidth applications will either automatically switch to wifi or will recommend some type of background data transfer instead.
I think it would be wise to note that saturating the wifi on the apple watch would liekly drain its battery very quickly and if possible I would consider ways of limiting the bandwidth you send to the watch. Ultimately do anything and everything you can in the iOS companion app.
