"Apple's Plan to Simplify Transition from iPhone to Android by 2025"

Apple plans to make it easier for customers to switch to Android by fall 2025 in compliance with the EU’s Digital Markets Act, which aims to increase competition in the app ecosystem. The company will enhance its data portability offerings, allowing users to transfer data from an iPhone to non-Apple devices more "user-friendly." This includes exporting App Store data to authorized third parties and scheduling regular downloads of App Store data. The new project will help other mobile operating system providers build better solutions to transfer data from an iPhone to a non-Apple phone, with Google's Android likely being the biggest beneficiary. Apple's new solution may also address the missing data when migrating to Android, but specific improvements have not been detailed yet.
