iOS 16.2 expands AirDrop 10-minute limit for 'Everyone' from China to everywhere
Historically, Apple has three different options for AirDrop.
"Receiving Off" entirely disables the ability for someone to AirDrop you something.
"Contacts Only" means that only people saved in your contacts could send
you something with AirDrop.
"Everyone" lets anyone nearby send you a file, photo, or other content via AirDrop. This means that anyone around you, regardless of whether or not
you knew them, would see your iPhone as a target for AirDrop.
Starting with iOS 16.2 RC today, new 10-minutes at a time restrictions on
the "Everyone" option for AirDrop is now in place globally.
What this means is that you can no longer have AirDrop enabled permanently for "Everyone." Instead, the option can only be enabled for 10 minutes at a time.
I'm OK with this decision. Better security.

Would be nice to have an option to turn off that 10 minute limit for say
12 hours. I'm thinking of long rides on charter buses, something that's pretty common for high school trips where the students like exchanging photos, etc..

Yeah. Customizable for the user.

Like Bluetooth, there is no reason to have it on 24/7. Unless I am home, there is no reason to have Wi-Fi on either.

there are many reasons to keep both bluetooth and wifi on, including airplay, homekit, iot devices, syncing with the apple watch, better accurate location and more. the impact to battery life is almost none.
I told you a couple of times that this is total nonsense.
Uses energy
and increases the area of attack.

almost none, for both.

Doesn't help the chinese government.

Hopefully we'll see that in a future iOS version.

Let's leave a feedback in https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone/ so
Apple can add it to v16.3 or later.

Sounds OK to me. Every time I have used it, I turn it on, send/receive something, then turn it back off.
Like Bluetooth, there is no reason to have it on 24/7. Unless I am home, there is no reason to have Wi-Fi on either.
BTW, nice to see you posting good news.
It's a mechanism that was designed to help the Chinese government
suppress descent.
AirDrop cannot be monitored
Not really good news. It's a mechanism that was designed to help the
Chinese government suppress descent. AirDrop cannot be monitored like wifi
or 4G so was used by protestors to rapidly share information.

Still does not matter to me. I don’t do too much “descending ” these days.

Hi Jolly Roger,
The observation you hate the facts doesn't change that the facts are facts. >>
I don't see anything from the likes of Bob Campbell or Alan Baker or Snit, >> so all I can see is you denying all facts about Apple that you happen to
hate, which, let's be clear, is a _lot_ of facts that you seem to hate.
FACT: *No smartphone OS has more zero-day holes than does Apple's iOS!*
The fact is well known iOS has about a zero-day hole every month for years >> on end, so for you to deny that fact simply means that you hate that fact. >>
It's also a fact that Apple has _never_ found any iOS zero-day holes, which >> is another fact you happen to hate simply because that fact _is_ a fact.
The only metric you can possibly argue is if you find that Android has as
many or more zero-day holes in the same time period as iOS clearly has had. >>
And you can't.
Hence, given you've denied all facts that you hate about Apple, it's my
assertion (based on that observation), that you hate this proven fact:
*No smartphone operating system has more zero-day holes than does iOS*
That's just a fact.
That's just a fact you hate.
That's just a fact you hate about Apple.
The observation you hate the facts doesn't change that the facts are facts.
Interesting. You have failed to produce even one example of the event requested. I suspect that you cannot. I further suspect that most/all of the ‘facts’ that you’re on about cannot be supported by actual events and are, therefore, NOT facts, except in your diseased mind.
To refute this is simple: produce an example as requested by JR. Just one, fulfilling his stated requirements. I don’t think that you can. I know that you have not, so far, done this.

I always assume my cellphone is hackable by everyone but
me and only use it occasionally for phone calls. The NYTimes
had an in-depth article yesterday about Israeli-made
malware used by governments to commandeer your cellphone
without needing any action on your part.

BZZZT. Neither of those articles prove your claim that Apple's supposed motivation was "to help the Chinese government". Yet again, you're
stating your opinion as fact, when those are very clearly two different things. Gullible fools have a real hard time differentiating between
them, but not the rest of us. Stay in school.

Try reading for comprehension next time. The implication was clear in
both articles.

No one is going to be able to prove anything
There
is no evidence that Apple rolled out this change in order "to help the Chinese government" (again, implications and opinions are not evidence).

Can you point to any news reports which imply what you said
which directly contradicts what all those previous news articles
inferred?
Or did you just make it all up without any backing evidence
whatsoever?
