The latest Apple products have been breaking records left right and center for the company and so it is no surprise that they have released a helpful Android to iPhone guide. After all, their new customers are coming from just about anywhere and so it is only good manners to help make the transition as smooth as possible.
In particular, the Android to iPhone guide addresses moving content from one device to the other. It proposes using iTunes and iCloud to move information over. But since Apple hasn't spent too much time yet making the switch easier and convenient, the Android to iPhone guide also points out a set of third-party apps that can help out as well. Although some may find the guide lacking, at least it is there as a starting point.
