Does proximity pairing also mean seamless switching between iDevices? As it stands non Apple earphones need to disconnect from the currently paired device to only then connect with another. My Beats Studio pro on the other hand can control primary device and on secondary device I can prompt it to connect and it will switch.
This is already part of the Bluetooth spec that Apple didn't implement: multipoint pairing.
This is wrong - Apple did implement multipoint pairing. I’ve had Bose headphones and cheapo Amazon headphones and both switched perfectly between various Apple devices.
No, they did not implement mulitpoint Bluetooth as per the spec in AirPods, they are doing proprietary handoffs between their own devices, multipoint pairing is not implemented for Airpods outside of macOS and iOS.
