A new mandate from the EU may force Apple to open AirDrop and AirPlay, among other features, to Android and other platforms.

    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.

      You can share a contact from your contacts app to any service - it’ll attach a vcard.

      Works both ways. Yea, it’s harder than it should be, when Palm had this capability via infrared in 1996.

        I wasn’t sure Apple would take a vCard, so after failing QR, I sent both the vCard and the info in plain text over SMS.

        Harder than it should be. Android could have just done a QR code.
