Switching from an iPhone to an Android smartphone should soon get easier


In the future, it should be easier to switch your personal data from an iPhone to an Android smartphone. — AFP Relaxnews

As part of new European legislation on digital markets (the Digital Markets Act, DMA), Apple is planning to make further changes to its data portability options for users moving from an iPhone to an Android-based handset.

The idea is to offer an optimised migration solution for moving all personal data from one phone to another, as simply as possible. To this end, Apple is said to be developing a more comprehensive and user-friendly solution than is currently available. However, users will have to be patient, as Apple isn't expected to communicate on this until 2025.
