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.
