You don’t become $3TN consumer technology company with a legendary reputation, without earning it. People mock what they don’t understand, and the more they mock Apple the more they show it, and every mention of the brand gets them into peoples minds.

You really did drink the Kool-Aid eh? It's absolutely amazing that you'd take the lack of a feature and try to spin it as a benefit because Apple came out with an alternative that's locked to their platform for no reason other than protectionism. If they'd implemented BT file transfer then...it would have just worked... Instead, you had no easy solution.

Apple is not your friend. They are not designing products to help you, they are designing products to make money. A big part of that is leveraging their monopoly to lock out their competition and ensure they get their pound of flesh for everything you do on your phone, whether they've earned it or not. That they can position this ridiculous abuse of your authority over the device you ostensibly own for to make it easier for them to tap your pocket book and folks like you will buy it is the genius of it all.

They're also not such brilliant engineers that they have the only viable product on the market. The fact that you think so is evidence of nothing more than the power of their marketing department.

Why do you blame this on Google / Android and not Apple, where the blame belongs? For one thing, Apple has never released an AirDrop specification or code. How would you expect it to work better, since in typical Apple style, they do not implement any alternative interoperable protocols for this? Nobody can implement their stuff, because they're protectionist about it, and they refuse to implement anyone else's, including standard protocols. Google's Nearby Share code is open source. How much do you want to bet Apple never adds it to iOS to improve this situation?

Why did this become the thread for shilling Apple anyway? If you're not happy with how Android handles permissions, good luck on iOS.

Mighty angry aren’t we. 🙄

Apple don’t owe anyone the secrets behind their technology. You might live in freetard utopia, but differentiation and successful ideas  is what makes clever people money, and those inventions set apart the wheat from the chaff.

“Nearby Share”:

1: What a comical, idiotic name.
2: Only HOW many years too late?
3: It’s a crusty, clumsy effort and it’s never worked once for me (just like their proximity unlock for Chromebook)

Check out this “guide” from Captain bullshit random Indian tech site: https://www.guidingtech.com/fix-nearby-sharing-not-working-on-android/

If ya gonna fanboy, pick the winning side.

Sour grapes. Don’t be bitter. Enjoy your day. Stay happy.

You complain about the tone of some replies and yet still come out with this unprovoked and pointed barb. For all you know, those not toeing Apple's line do so because they are 'educated' in Apple's way, perhaps much more so than you.

Why on earth couldn't you have used 'unaware' or something similarly non-confrontational? You bloody well ask for someone to virtually  bop you on the nose, you know.

[Edit: tow/toe, how embarrassing]
