China cracks Apple AirDrop’s security to curb the spread of ‘inappropriate content’

The Chinese government claims a state-backed institute has developed a method to identify AirDrop senders, raising privacy concerns. Critics argue it violates privacy rights and threatens free speech. This could strain Apple's relationship with the Chinese government and impact iPhone sales. Apple restricted AirDrop in China in 2022, possibly due to similar concerns.
