Move to iOS from Android

Apple announces ‘Move to iOS’ app on iOS 9

With the current-generation iPhones doing ever so well, Apple is getting more aggressive in getting Android users to switch over to its side. With iOS 9, it is making it easier than ever before for Android users to switch to an iPhone. A somewhat hidden feature not spoken of directly during today's WWDC keynote is a new app for iOS 9 called "Move to iOS," which will allow current Android users a hassle-free migration experience from their Android phone to the iOS ecosystem.

Move to iOS

According to Apple, this Android to iOS transfer app securely transfers your contacts, message history, camera photos and videos, web bookmarks, mail accounts, calendars, wallpaper, and DRM-free songs and books. And it will help you rebuild your app library, too. Any free apps you used — like Facebook and Twitter — are suggested for download from the App Store. And your paid apps are added to your iTunes Wish List.

However, It’s not clear exactly how the process works yet, and how aggressive Apple will be when it comes to migrating users away from Google’s services. For example, it’s possible that the process will move all of the contacts a user has stored with Google over to iCloud—Apple hasn’t said one way or another.Once the process is done, the Android app will helpfully prompt users to recycle their Android phone, just to keep them from going back to Google’s mobile platform unless they buy a new phone.

In an interview with the WSJ earlier this year, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that fewer than 15 percent iPhone users upgraded to iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus with the majority coming from Android. The ‘Move to iOS’ app will only enable Apple to initiate an even bigger user exodus from Android.
