You can't even send anything from Apple to non Apple by Bluetooth. Why do you expect audio would work.

I don’t understand what you’re saying here.

I listen to my Apple devices on a knock-off add-on Bluetooth for my car with no issues. I’ve sent audio to a vast variety of non-Apple Bluetooth devices. In fact the only Apple-branded BT device I use are my AirPods.

Have you ever tryed to send a file, a a picture or something over Bluetooth from Apple to Android?

No not in the last decade. It's probably such a remote use case nowadays that it hasnt got any recent attention, if someone needs to forward me something like a picture or PDF then they typically use email, whatsapp, lineapp, signal, dropbox, gdrive etc... I think it must of been 10 years since I had my phone with bluetooth discover-me on and anyone actually tried to beam me something. Bluetooth, to me nowadays, is just something to connect to my airpods but that's largely invisible so I wouldn't noticed if they changed to something other than bluetooth

Why is sending a file relevant in an audio protocol discussion?
