When it comes to new features, iOS 17.1 will allow users to finish
sending files via AirDrop using the internet connection when you or the
other person leaves AirDrop's range. The file will be silently uploaded
to Apple¢s servers and then downloaded to the other person's device.

Damn it Apple! Stop showing off the smooth integration in the Apple eco-system!
It's embarrassing for the others!

I wonder if Alan Browne realizes _how_ Apple attains that "smooth
integration" (which, pssst... comes at the expense of 24/7 tracking).

It's a tradeoff.

Nothing you like about the walled garden works unless you're logged into Apple's mothership tracking servers every second of every moment of your
life.

If you're willing to pay that price - then you & Apple are a perfect match.

Me?
I tried _not_ constantly logging into Apple's mothership tracking servers.

Guess what happened!
