EU regulation has led to Apple being forced to open up iOS in ways that many never expected, but it’s not done just yet. In an effort to ensure “effective interoperability” with other platforms, the EU wants Apple to make native features of iOS being compatible with Android, including the likes of AirDrop and more.

File sharing using bluetooth and wifi are not Apple’s ideas.

you are correct, they are not, however, Apple‘s optimization and the mechanisms underpinning how those actually function is significantly different and superior to the regular file sharing that you’re describing. I am not making this information up. You can verify this yourself. I can provide some citations if you wish. And yes, I was foolish to post my comment in an android community.

You can’t share videos via Bluetooth from iOS to Android because Apple things. There’s currently no way to send a video form an iPhone to Pixel directly. And using online sharing platforms always compresses videos.

I don’t see how anyone can defend this in any way
