iOS 17 NameDrop vs Business Card

Apple recently introduced NameDrop, a new feature in iOS 17 that allows users to share their contact information easily. With NameDrop, you can simply bring your iPhone or Apple Watch close to another user's device, and their phone will automatically detect your contact information. This is a convenient way to share your contact information with people you meet at networking events or other professional gatherings.

However, NameDrop is not a complete replacement for digital business cards. Here are some of the limitations of NameDrop:

• It is only available on Apple devices. This means that you cannot use NameDrop to share your contact information with people who do not have an iPhone or Apple Watch. In the US, Android has a 58.95% market share, while iOS has a 40.63% market share. In Canada, Android has a 62.39% market share, while iOS has a 36.93% market share. Looking at the stats it is clearly understandable that relying on just the name drop as your Business card will leave you 60% of android market. 
• It is not as customizable as digital business cards. With a digital business card you can have a full customizable profile and can add website, social media links, and other information. 

• Cross-platform compatibility: Digital business cards can be used with any type of device, not just Apple devices. This means that you can share your contact information with a wider audience.
• More customizable: Digital business cards can be customized to your liking. You can add your logo, website, social media links, and other information to your card. This makes your card more visually appealing and informative.
• They can help you build relationships: it is a more personal way of connecting with people. This can help you build relationships and grow your business.
