To have these features be universal across all device types would be so amazing. iPhone, android, Mac, and Windows should all have the ability to transfer files and stream media. It should be simple
My girlfriend has an iPhone, and the storage is full. We’ve been trying to get all her pictures transferred off to delete some of the older ones off the phone and holy fuck is it a pain in the ass. Move them to her MacBook? Pain in the ass because of how they setup their Photos app. Move to a flashdrive via a dongle? Pain in the ass because it downloads from who knows where and fills the storage back up before I can start the transfer. Connect to my Windows PC? Lmao yeah right.
So far I’ve just gotten Immich to backup all her pics to my server but due to the amount on her phone it takes forever then bugs out and stops transferring.

Knowing Apple, they’d likely make a bare bones functionality somewhat workable while making it more of a pita than it’s worth.
You know bluetooth has been able to do just that since like 2005
And for android and also windows nearby share works very well, basically the same as airdrop
Maybe, but it’s slow and much harder to use than how AirDrop works

iOS can eat my entire ass
Let’s rename it to iOAss
I tried to share a contact yesterday from Android to Apple. Quick share doesn’t work. QR code doesn’t work.
I had to get their phone number and send it over SMS in text. Ridiculous.
