Apple Shares New Videos Aimed at Luring Android Users to iPhone
Apple this afternoon uploaded several new short videos to its YouTube channel, which are aimed at luring current Android smartphone users to the iPhone.
The first video, "Ease," is meant to demonstrate how easy it is to transfer content from an Android device to an iPhone using the Move to iOS app from Apple.
In the video, a man holding an umbrella floats from the bottom of the screen, titled "Your phone" to the top of the screen, titled "iPhone," while the video's description points users towards the Move to iOS app.
All of the videos direct users to Apple's "Switch" website, which is designed for customers who use an Android or another smartphone and are thinking of switching to an iPhone.
The website answers simple questions like "Will it be easy to switch to iPhone?" and "Will iPhone be easy to use?"
It also offers up details on key features that differentiate the iPhone from other devices, such as Portrait Mode, iMessages, Apple-designed chips, Touch ID and Face ID, user privacy, the App Store, and more.
Since 2015, Apple has offered the "Move to iOS" app which is designed to make it quick for Android users to swap to an iPhone by transferring data like contacts, message history, photos and videos, web bookmarks, mail account information, calendars, wallpapers, DRM-free songs, and books.
Apple has been ramping up its efforts to lure Android switchers to iPhone since 2017, when it overhauled the "Switch" site and first began releasing ads targeted at Android users.

It will take a lot more than that, from what I can tell. The smartphone industry has peaked, and like it or not, the iPhone isn’t as compelling a device as it used to be.

Most android users I know are cheap in most aspects of their life, tech included.
The few that care most about tech are intrinsically attracted to the inconvenient ways of doing things.
With friends like you who needs enemies. It's exactly this attitude towards other people (over a phone, seriously?) that can turn people off being associated in any way with the apple community.

I want a solid android base, so Apple has to try harder
competition is good

98% of Android users choose android phones because they are cheaper. No amount of cute advertising is going to change that.

It is easy to switch to iOS because Android doesn't lock up your data, you have access to a file manager. It is easy to export your contacts and photos.
iOS is another story.

So frequent iOS updates are good, but frequent Windows updates are bad. The hypocrisy.
Exactly.
Also...
Android gets slammed because you will probably be stuck with whatever version of Android your phone shipped with originally. (no updates ever!)
Meanwhile... Apple does offer updates for a few years... but you don't want to install them because they slow down your phone.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
