Google had a better run with its flagship phones than the iPhones, without Apple’s involvement.
In a company blog post, Google revealed that the Pixel 10 phones (and Only Pixel 10 phones) can now send AirDrop files seamlessly to iPhones.
To do this, the iPhone owner needs to make their device discoverable for anyone. Similarly, a Pixel owner will have to do the same if they want to get something Airdropped from an iPhone. On the Pixel side, you’ll initiate the exchange via Quick Share.

‘Red Dead Redemption’ comes to PS5, Xbox, iOS, and Android: How to get it
For now, the feature is only available on Pixel 10 devices — not on other Android phones, or even other Pixel phones, just the Pixel 10 family. Interestingly, Google also confirmed to The Verge that this feature has been developed Without Any input from Apple. It remains to be seen whether or not Apple will respond to this.
Hopefully, Apple will respond with a degree of kindness, as interoperability between Android and iOS makes life easier for everyone else.
