@soprano Yeah, tried that. I thought maybe it was for pre-Yo Macs. No dice.

@drance New version uses it to hand shake. -
@drance Yes, it needs Bluetooth to work with iOS. -
@drance mine requires both devices have Bluetooth on. Both of the most current hardware Air and iPhone. -
@drance Short answer: yes. There’s ‘new’ AirDrop that uses BT, and ‘old’ AirDrop that doesn't -
@drance Probably. -
@drance next-gen Airdrop is fully BLE-based and compatible with iOS.
