They would counter sue with monopoly laws. Apple would not win that case, so I doubt they would. That being said Apple has enough money to buy judges and destroy our legal system so... yeah money wins regardless 😅
@@bhavan5082 He literally said it's not available on the play store and that you will need to side load it. There are numerous tutorials on how to do this on google. Your mind will be blown.
@@bhavan5082it's very easy to install an APK. A quick search online should walk you through the steps. Just make sure to download the files from a reputable website.
Remember the days of DS download play? Literally would send any of your games over the air so your friend could play multiplayer with you on their device. I think you could have up to 16 devices on the same "mesh" network, no router needed. Tech ahead of its time for sure
@@JacksonCampbellfun fact: mac os still has an application called Bluetooth File Sharing which lets you do just that with any device that supports it. i used to send mp3s to my flip phone with it ☠️
no tech company plays nice w/ other tech companies. no corporation on Earth has consumers best interests at heart no matter how much they pander. it’s essentially down to just picking your poison.
Neat. I use Airdrop between macs, my iPad and iPhone all the time so hopefully we can get bi-directional ‘nearby share’ on both sooner than later. More freedom to move between devices is always good, imo.
@@spacetoast7783 I like Apple’s products, generally, I just wish they didn’t always take the view that anything that isn’t explicitly good for is automatically bad for them.
Who else remembers when every device just had bluetooth and anyone could share anything to anywhere? Yes, it was slower, but it worked. These tech companies need to start agreeing on standards.
I spent hours to search for a way to share files between my android and my mac. Neardrop is good. Also found KDE Connect, able to transfer files and clipboard back and forth between devices. Nice piece of software.
I would absolutely love a tech collab for a universal ota file transfer. I send a lot of pictures from my phone to my work PC (windows) - by email (if done the math for the power consumption, it ain’t good)
Apple really needs to let this segregated ecosystem go. I'm an advertising & marketing professional and need to switch between an iMac, MacBook, desktop PC, Samsung phone & an iPhone 5 days a week. I had to get both Google One and extra iCloud storage just to make my workflow easier. They make me want to switch AWAY from anything Apple rather than go all in. It's not like all software or applications work on an iMac, anyway.
Finally, a YT short that taught me something new. I prefer the one install to many device option of the app installed to the Mac rather than the Android app. Now if only we got an Apple TV+ Android native app...
They're dropping the Zenphone lineups 😢it didn't sell well and it wont get updated anymore. People say it's because of the small screen but that's just not true. Many people including me want a smaller phone. It's probably because just a lot of people don't know about it, and also Asus isn't really a name casual buyers are familiar with. Hopefully reviewers won't blame smaller screens for this.
There's a really cool one "KDE Connect", and that allows this, and much more. Plus it's from the KDE Team, so it's open source. Works on Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS... Doesn't do only file share, does a lot of neat features (clipboard share, file system share, remote control...)
Thanks. This is really helpful. I had a mac, but not an iphone. Didnt wanna buy an iPhone since i dont see the point of wanting to spend money on expensive phones whem all I'd be using it for is receiving calls and social media.
SMS was an open standard. iMessage protocols were just so much better. Open standards are, don't get me wrong, great... but they are usually not consistently implemented.... and in many cases, are kludges. There's a reason people use AirDrop... and it's great that a company influential like Apple is coming up with useful features that are emulated. Why would you not want that?
@@burhanuddinhaider Umm, let me write the same sentence so you can hopefully see how that is a flawed sentiment. "How is AirDrop not open? Like all iPhones, iPod touches, iPads and Macs have it now"
@@BeyondtheBoringLab as far as I have tested it out, it still doesn't sent it in perfectly original quality + changes metadata I use sendanywhere and Id say I recommend it
That’s why I just use one drive on all of my devices, then I don’t need to send files. Just be logged into my one drive on all devices and anything I upload to any folder is automatically accessible to all other devices connected to the internet within seconds. BUT I can see where in some scenarios a person may benefit from a feature that allows sending to and from devices.
Its genuinely wild to me how Apple can be so scummy that they force people to buy an Apple phone to use a basic feature on their computer and vice versa, but people still eat it up.
The last time i owned an ipad i used feem to transfer files. Its limited in the mac side as far as ehat then has access to the files after transferring yhem, at least it did in 2016, but it was fast, simple, and just worked.
