When Apple decided not to support file sharing over Bluetooth in iOS, that was a bad decision made to push its own not-compatible-with-anything ad-hoc file sharing standard, which in the end wasn't adopted by anybody else.
Nothing innovative in reinventing a wheel. Poor vision, bad execution.
> Meanwhile, there’s still no reliable way to wirelessly transfer files between Android and Windows devices, and your have to use Bluetooth for that!
And it will never be unless both will freaking stop reinventing the wheel, and keep trying EEE with Android Beam, Android Share, Samsung Share, Windows Share, and other misadventurous attempts at standard-making which live no longer than 2-3 years.
Windows XP, and Ericsson R520 had built-in Bluetooth stack, and worked just find from the box.
Win 10, and latest Android had to both individually subvert the OBEX standard in their own ways to become mutually incompatible from the box.
- wanderer_ 5y agoIt is my personal opinion that someone should evaluate iOS and officially declare it not Bluetooth-compliant. Even better if it's the trademark holder, cause a pain in Marketing's ass over at Timco. Developing bluetooth stuff for iOS is a serious annoyance (at least for me).
