iPhone Users Can Now AirDrop Files to Android Devices

Gee, thank you for the wisdom here. Some people don't want an iPhone but would like to have the convenience of iMessage.

Thank you for chiming in. Since we're discussing wants: I would like an iPhone with Google's image processing and editing capabilities but with Apple's video capabilities, with no Siri but with Grok as default voice assistant, a vertical sliding design that unfolds the screen vertically with a motor, thunderbolt port with 140W fast charging, MagSafe, telegram as my default messaging, all the iOS and Android app compatibilities, with 96GB of ram for local LLMs, etc...

but we can't always get what we want.

who said they didn't? we're discussing usb-c on iPhone. not discussing designing the port itself.

I didn't disagree with what you said. I was taking it a step further, Apple was there from the beginning when USB-C was being designed. They were one of the first to adopt the design with the thunderbolt 3 protocol which intel donated to the USB forum.

I guess this was meant as humor. Good one.

Is it REALLY a big deal? With the phone in my hand, I’ve got at least 4 other ways to send files. Those other ways don’t become less useful due to this. And, those other ways work with ALL Android phones, today, not just Pixel phones.

Sure, there are several ways to share file with 'Droid users. One more way isn't exactly what has mu eyebrow raised. TBH, I have never once thought about sharing a file with a 'Droid user - until about an hour ago. What I do find interesting is that Apple is able to wirelessly play nice with others. That opens the door for other interesting potentials. So "big deal?" I mean, there are certainly much bigger deals in life. But in some statistically insignificant super niche corners of the internet, some might find this a big-ish deal-ish. YMMV, obviously.
 
I find this funny. I remember back in the day when I had a Windows Phone how excited I was that Microsoft made the YouTube app Google refused to make. Google put a stop to that in no time. Let karma commence in 3..2..1..

I'm well aware of the history lesson.
