As per usual, Apple and their bootlicking consumers hold up the progress of society.
Did you even read the article?
Yeah? You mean the article that says
The only problem is that its launch continues to be held up by Apple.
…because the standard specification, which both Google and Apple intend to implement, has yet to be finalised.
Apple was waiting for a production implementation of the specification which was published in December. That means they’re the ones delaying the launch.
I’ve been waiting for this for ages, I still think letting your main competitor decide when you can release a product is just absurd.
Apple didn’t give a shit about android users getting tracked when they launched air tags.
Then again they aren’t Apple. Google doesn’t have the Apple’s accidental perception of being privacy oriented. Which is nonsense in reality but nevertheless people will look at the exact same solution from Google and interpret it as another privacy invading spying device.
In addition, Google has created and contributed to a shit ton of open source software that has required collaboration with communities and companies, all of which requires going the extra mile to get others onboard.
