Since you seem to have trouble with even simple English, I will ask again. What do you lose from Apple being forced to make the drivers etc open and devices compatible with other devices? I don't care if it causes apple more or less work, I care how it affects me. Why are you not answering if you think you have anything at all to lose from Apple being made to open stuff up?

I see you refused to answer this question. You are busy in other threads after this. Says a lot you repeatedly refuse to answer an extremely simple question stated multiple times, in many different ways.

> That’s something you couldn’t do with an open standard as quickly.
We have been saying this for days, across 30 fucking comments in this godforsaken chain, but you do not listen. Let me spell it out. If you ignore me this time, I won't bother responding.
You could do this with an Open Standard, just as quickly. This technology relies on Bluetooth MAC addresses and iCloud file sync, not fairy dust.*
This shows the power of an integrated solution. Apple released a better way to pair Bluetooth headphones with their devices and at the same time got the better method implemented across their computers, phones, tablets, watches and set top boxes.
That’s something you couldn’t do with an open standard as quickly.
I pair my headphones to one device that I’m signed into and they automatically get recognized by all my devices.
