During Apple’s conference we learned more about iOS 9.
One of the unannounced features that comes to the system is actually an app that helps transferring data from an Android device to iPhone.
An end of the war between Apple and Google is yet to be seen.
Move to iOS allows users to wirelessly switch from Android to iOS. The app, according to Apple, allows Android users to wirelessly transfer their contacts, message history, camera photos, videos, web bookmarks, mail accounts, calendars, wallpapers, and DRM-free media to their new iOS device.
It will also automatically suggest that users download the iOS versions of any free Android apps from the App Store. Users’ paid apps are added to your iTunes Wish List automatically.
The app presumably will launch alongside iOS 9 later this year in both the Play Store and App Store. A launch alongside iOS 9 would line up perfectly with the congruent launch of the next-generation iPhone, as well.
A report from comScore earlier this month showed that Apple strengthened its lead as the top smartphone manufacturer, while also gaining on Android to become the top smartphone platform. Tim Cook stated earlier this year that Apple saw the highest rate of switchers to iOS during Q2.
