Do you iOS people have *any* idea what "FUNCTIONALITY" is?

None of you?
Absolutely none?

Are you *all* saps to MARKETING drivel?
Every single one of you?

Have *none* of you ever taken a MARKETING class?
None of you know the difference between functionality and brand names.

Not one of you.
It's very sad how MARKETING-driven you are in every breath.
You wouldn't know FUNCTIONALITY if it hit you in the face!

Yep, and we know that single words are useful ways of naming functionality.

Just like you do when you use the word android yourself.

Airdrop is a marketing term which isn't on Android.
But that's meaningless (since it's pure MARKETING).

What is the FUNCIONALITY you mean when you use the MARKETING term "Airdop"?

Airdrop is merely a set of ad hoc services.
Ad hoc services are on Android phones too.

So, to put what you said into perspective:
- You said iOS has ad hoc services which you said Android doesn't have
(because *that* was the question, after all, that you were answering).

Yet, clearly, Android has ad hoc services.

How does your saying iOS has ad hoc services mean that it's functionality
that Android doesn't have, when Android also has ad hoc services?

Airdrop is a single word that is useful to briefly
refer to a PARTICULAR ad hoc FUNCTIONALITY.

Just like Android is a single word that is useful
to briefly refer to a PARTICULAR FUNCTIONALITY.

The use of bluetooth to see what devices are close enough
that can do that PARTICULAR ad hoc FUNCTIONALITY, and
to then setup the wifi ad hoc file transfer.

It is a PARTICULAR  ad hoc service that Android does not have.

> Ad hoc services are on Android phones too.

That PARTICULAR ad hoc functionality is not.

You might as well stupidly claim that Android
phone have phone services just like iOS does
and stupidly claim that that means that there
is nothing that android phones have that iOS
phone don’t have and that would be just as
big a bare faced like with the PARTICULAR
phone service functionality, automatically
recording all incoming and outgoing cellular calls.

I just don’t believe you actually are that stupid,
and that you must be deliberately and flagrantly
dishonestly trolling and if you keep this shit up,
as I say, I will be ignoring your shit.

Are you saying Bluetooth is *required* in order for iOS to figure out WiFi
file transfer functionality?

On Android, Bluetooth file transfer ad hoc services work just fine without
WiFI and on Android WiFi file transfer ad hoc services work just fine
without Bluetooth.

They work a hell of a lot better when airdrop 
FUNCTIONALITY is used instead.

You wouldn't know a distinct functionality if it was spoon fed to you.

The question was clear:
What functionality does iOS have that Android doesn't?

One answer was "Airdrop".
But, Airdop is merely a MARKETING term for "ad hoc services".

Bearing in mind that Android also has ad hoc services, how is the fact that
iOS has (cleverly branded) ad hoc services any different than the fact that
Android has (perhaps poorly branded) ad hoc services?

The only difference is in the MARKETING.
The FUNCTIONALITY is the same.

it's much more than that.

what android has is not even close to what airdrop is.

What is it that Airdrop ad hoc services does that can't be done on Android 
since Android certainly has both trivial-to-use Bluetooth and WiFi file 
transfer ad hoc services.

The setting up of the ad hoc wifi file transfer is a lot more effortless 
and elegant, particularly for the less technical users.

Ummmm. 

I do WiFi (and Bluetooth) file transfer ad hoc services all the time.
Setting it up is trivial, just like setting up a router is trivial.

I wonder why iOS users seem to *want* and *need* all these crutches?

This is true that the average iOS user such as the couple that I had to
help, is relatively clueless about setting up a router.

By way of extension, that averqage iOS user is probably just as clueless
bout setting up ad hoc services for file transfer.

But it's still doesn't mean that Android doesn't have ad hoc services for
file transfer.

Just as true of the average android user. Far more likely to be true
in fact just because they are often those who can't afford the price
of the apple stuff, because they are more likely to be employed to
do unskilled work and that’s the reason they can't afford apple stuff.

No one ever said it didn’t. You demanded to know what iOS has that
android doesn’t and had your nose rubbed in the FACT that iOS has
that PARTICULAR functionality that is very useful for that type of user.

Wrong. It’s a single word used to describe a particular ad hoc 
FUNCTIONALITY.

Just like Android is a single word to describe one particular FUNCTIONALITY.

Wrong, as always. What iOS has is the FUNCTIONALITY that
allows bluetooth to be used to see what devices are close
enough to do ad hoc wifi to using that FUNCTIONALITY.

Huh?

Bluetooth is required to find WiFi on iOS?
