You realize that doesn’t say what you think it says in your own quote of the citation?

Apple has to allow alternate solutions on the iPhone - not that they have to allow AirDrop interoperability.

Feel free to click on a PDF directly below that quote, I don't have to serve you everything on a silver platter.

I promise you you will find what you're looking for right there.

  • So you posted a citation supposedly refuting my comment then when you are called out about it instead of admitting you misinterpreted your own citation, you say “look somewhere else”…

    • So instead of admitting you were wrong and that DMA did indeed strongarm Apple into doing this, you're doing what? Arguing I should've given you a different quote with that info instead of a primary source I've already linked to you?

      Weird man, weird.

That's a different thing, but the EU did force Apple to implement Wi-Fi Aware which is what allows Google to do this.

  • But this works with the existing airdrop client on the iOS side right? Did Apple change airdrop to use wifi aware, and now Google can build the airdrop protocol on Android?
