I was 27 as more flexible child safety controls for parents, customizable liquid glass, which you already know about faster search and mail and other apps.
Terrence GainesHOST
AirDrop transfers up to 80% faster and a feature called iPhone handoff.
Terrence GainesHOST
One phone number instantly active across two phones.
Terrence GainesHOST
Free update rolling out this month.
Myke SargentHOST
So we'll close out of this, and here we can also tap the share sheet button to share it with someone else.
Myke SargentHOST
Now, Apple requires that you use AirDrop for this because the credential sharing needs to happen in a very secure way, but it would allow someone else to open it up.
Myke SargentHOST
So if you've got, you know, a shared login like your streaming services or something similar, then using that share sheet button is a great way to do so.
Myke SargentHOST
Uh, you can see some of the other accounts that I have here that are part of, um, this sort of fake, um, system.
Micah SargentHOST
So we'll close out of this and here we can also tap the share sheet button to share it with someone else now.

Goodness EzeHOST
How that, you know, most people now use iPhones.
Goodness EzeHOST
And because most people are using iPhones, it's going to be easy to share things like, you know, using AirDrop, Facebook.
Goodness EzeHOST
Also, if you have an iPad, also one of the best grades of laptops you can find are MacBooks.
Goodness EzeHOST
So if you're using a MacBook and you're using an iPhone, it's a lot easier than using a MacBook and an Android.
Tiago OrtizGUEST
Both, but I'm iPhone right now because my system works at Samsung.
Tiago OrtizGUEST
But yeah, I like AirDrop.
Tiago OrtizGUEST
And in Samsung, I do like the file transfers to my computer because I do film as well.
Tiago OrtizGUEST
So both.
Dan BarberaHOST
That ecosystem's getting smaller by the day.
Dan BarberaHOST
AirDrop works.
Dan BarberaHOST
You don't need AirDrop anymore.
Dan BarberaHOST
That's true.
Dan BarberaHOST
That is true.
Olimpiu PopHOST
Because now there are a couple of ecosystems and I'm just thinking now about Apple.
Olimpiu PopHOST
I would have stayed away from that, but you did mention earlier AirDrop.
Olimpiu PopHOST
And my feeling is that AirDrop is such a great technology, especially when you have people in the proximity and you don't want to go all the way to the cloud and send them on different type of messaging apps.
Olimpiu PopHOST
But that works only in the Apple ecosystem.
Scott JensonGUEST
That recently changed, right? Now Android basically has figured
Olimpiu PopHOST
that out, and so now it works.
Olimpiu PopHOST
And that's where I wanted to get to, is the fact that there is a lot of effort on the European Union side to just open that up, to create a standard based on it.
Olimpiu PopHOST
AirDrop started it, and it seems that the points regulation is useful as well.
Scott BennerHOST
It opens up your iOS or your, um, or your Android share feature.
Scott BennerHOST
You could text, email, AirDrop, anything from right there.
Scott BennerHOST
You could also click on email.
Scott BennerHOST
It will open your email.
speaker_3HOST
Even local connections are locked down.
speaker_2HOST
Like AirDrop.
speaker_3HOST
Exactly.
speaker_3HOST
When you use features like AirDrop or Wi-Fi sharing to send a file to a device across the room, Apple is utilizing standard Bluetooth and Wi-Fi protocols, but layering them with heavily encrypted data transmissions between the paired devices.
speaker_2HOST
Which actually brings us to the silver lining for anyone studying cybersecurity or analyzing malware.
speaker_2HOST
Because so far, this multi-layered fortress sounds completely impenetrable.
speaker_0HOST
Well, now the seamless ecosystem makes a MacBook seem necessary.
speaker_1HOST
Right, for the AirDrop.
speaker_0HOST
Once you have the Mac and the iPhone, the iPad bridges the gap nicely.
speaker_0HOST
Then you need the Apple Watch to track the fitness you aren't doing, and obviously you can't use wired headphones with any of this, so you buy the AirPods Pro.
