Within each sector, there are brands that are in eternal competition with each other. Perhaps the most common and well-known of these is undoubtedly the rivalry between Android and iOS. Let’s leave aside the developers of the two operating systems, even their users are fighting with each other. However, Apple brought with iOS 17 a feature of Android that it made fun of years ago. Here are the details on the subject…
Apple brought the NameDrop feature with iOS 17, but this feature was making fun of it!
Exactly 10 years ago, in 2013, Apple introduced a revolutionary technology. AirDrop, the name of which you know very well and you use almost every day. AirDrop is a data sharing feature similar to the old Bluetooth system. With AirDrop, you can now completely transfer the information left on your old iPhone when switching to a new iPhone.
This feature works by interacting with other iPhones in the environment. Owners of other devices allow the exchange of data and the phones can receive photos, videos, documents, etc., even at long distances (within AirDrop coverage). files can be transferred. In the period when AirDrop, which you know very well, was first introduced, NFC technology was introduced on Android devices. To transfer data with NFC technology, you had to stick both devices back to back.
No more eye disorders: Phone screens will not harm our eyes!
Phone and tablet screen lights will no longer hurt our eyes. Apple has developed a new technology that tracks eye distance.
Nowadays, debit cards, public transport cards, etc. NFC, which we use more often in card transactions, was actually for data transfer between devices when it first came out. When Apple launched the AirDrop feature for the first time, it stoned the Android front with statements such as “You don’t need to get data by banging your phones together anymore”. However, the incoming NameDrop feature may have given Android manufacturers a trump card.
Thanks to the NameDrop feature, information is transferred between devices when two iPhones come into contact with each other. This information is the kind of information that will be found on a personal business card. Phone number, social media accounts, etc. The feature can actually work with AirDrop, but for a more comfortable use, the method of directly touching two iPhones has been chosen.
This may be a sensible choice, but it could also open up a path of revenge on the Android front for the wave of “colliding phones”. Because Apple carried the system that it made fun of in practice to its own devices. So what do you think? Don’t forget to give your opinion in the comments section…
