For context AWDL is responsible for AirDrop, AirPlay, etc

“Apple shall implement the measures for Wi-Fi Aware 4.0 in the next major iOS release, i.e. iOS 19, at the latest, and for Wi-Fi Aware 5.0 in the next iOS release at the latest nine months following the introduction of the Wi-Fi Aware 5.0 specification”

What are your guys thoughts?

I’m fine with Apple being asked to support a standard. What I’m not fine with is if Apple drops AWDL (which frankly, I doubt)
