As an adult with Android, I can say this is real. I was on Safari in Africa and everybody else with me had iPhones. They were airdropping pictures to each other and I was reduced to begging for somebody to email them to me.

We were on a tour and the guide had an iPhone, but we have Android phones. He took some photos and said "Oh if you had an iPhone I could just Airdrop them to you" and we said "If you had an Android phone you could Nearby Share them to us".

Then there was much explaining about how Airdrop was better because it works with iPhones, and Nearby Share is no good because it won't work with iPhones.

Couldn't quite get them to see the irony about that complaint.
