A bit suspicious that this story broke the day Musk decided he doesn’t want to pay the 30% Apple tax and goes crazy on Twitter about it.

Did Chinese protesters really use airdrop to organize?

I know airdrop was pretty big in U.S. protests in summer 2020, and reportedly in Hong Kong as well.

Obviously not very helpful for pre-planning an event, but good to change plans in the moment.

In US iPhone has something like 50% market share, while in China is 10% if I’m not wrong.
