Bluetooth is a conventional wireless communication technology that permits you to share data and information between various electronic devices. These include mobile phones, cameras, laptops, and more. It's one of the common ways to stream music from one device to another. It doesn't necessitate a network to stream audio. Additional hardware or setup is required to link devices. Airplay, on the other hand, is an Apple propriety wireless streaming service, which you can stream music on over long distances, as compared to Bluetooth. Apple creates it with the sole ambition of you being able to stream your music from the comfort of your own home. Home networks possess higher bandwidth than Bluetooth, and the audio files do not need to be compressed, which results in better sound quality. However, unlike Bluetooth, Airplay requires a Wi-Fi network to stream content, and it is only accessible for Apple devices.
