Apple was ordered by EU antitrust regulators today to open up its closed ecosystem to rivals, with the latter spelling out details on how to go about it in line with the bloc's landmark rules and where non-compliance could lead to an investigation and fines.

As someone who has recently moved away from an iPhone, while still having much of the rest of the Apple ecosystem in place: for me it's things like AirPlay and AirDrop. There are alternatives to AirDrop, but as I have an Apple TV, it would super handy to be able to AirPlay to it from my Pixel. As it stands, there appears to be literally no way to achieve this.

And to be clear it's all just Bluetooth with the airdrop protocol stuck on top, there's absolutely no reason that Apple couldn't have made this work with any device, they made the deliberate decision to restrict it to only their products. Same thing with iMessage, they absolutely can get it to work on Android they just don't.
