The fact that you are impressed that different products from the same brand are interoperable between them says volumes about Apple and Apple users.

Android didn't have a way to share files between them for the longest time. Initially there was Beam but it never worked. The first semi-reliable way to exchange files between two android phones, without using a third party utility, was Nearby Share dates from 2020.

So yeah, it's a low bar, but one that only Apple bothered to clear from the get go apparently.

  • Ah, uneducated smugness, another Apple trait. It's been possible to share files between any android since 2009, via Bluetooth.
