Is that implementation open-source? I'm sure it's bundled as part of Google Play, not AOSP.

> Apple is happy to let you run whatever operating system on your Mac -- they aren't actively hostile there Weird to praise Apple for the one line of devices they let you install your own operating system on and ignore that every other device doesn't .
Even that is a lie. It allows other OSs, but they know quite well, that without drivers, it’s an empty promise. I can’t run anything else on my Mini for example.
> It allows other OSs
So it's not a lie?

To clarify because this is confusing: The AirPods work as regular old BlueTooth earbuds on other devices already. This is an implementation of some of the extra features and interfaces that are integrated into Apple products.
That's not why one buys the AirPods. These things go with me from the iPhone to Apple TV, to my MBP, to the Mini. There is better sound available for less, but the sound is the least of the story.

If I remember right, there have been several Android applications that show the battery level of AirPods since at least 2021. For essential features in addition to being connected as an ordinary Bluetooth audio output and audio input device.
I've wondered since inception why AirPods case doesn't at least show a color indicator — red/yellow/green — for AirPods battery level.

If I allow you to cross my main door, but I'm 100% kill you immediately after that, do I really allow you into my home, or not? Your legalese only works in court, and Apple and fanboys spread this nonsense only because of legal reasons.
i think it’s more like “i’ll give you keys to my alien space ship, but our culture doesn’t write things down in a language you understand. be careful!”
If I wasn't certain Apple will do their best to patch every avenue to this working in the future it might be motivation to buy AirPods.
I'm really curious why some features are tagged "Will not be implemented" for Linux, but "Planned" for Android.
edit: there's just one that's not planned for Linux and planned for Andorid- HRM. Head gestures is already implemented on Android.
