Shulou(Shulou.com)05/31 Report--

Recently, there were media reports that Apple was developing an iOS-to-Android data transfer app, but an Apple spokesman later denied it.

"the rumors are completely out of thin air," an Apple spokesman said in an interview. "We are committed to turning Android users into iPhone users with remarkable results."

To attract Android users, Apple has previously released an Android-to-iOS data transfer app that allows Android users to import pictures, music and information from their phones to iOS devices via WiFi connections. Now, there are reports that Apple is doing the opposite and plans to launch an app to migrate iOS content to Android.

Even if Apple doesn't deny it, the rumor is unreliable when you think about it. How could Apple watch its users join the Android camp and add fuel to the flames? However, according to foreign media reports, Apple is under pressure from operators, who are worried that the "lock-in" on Apple's platform will prevent users from using other devices, so they hope that Apple can develop a tool so that iOS users can easily switch to other platforms.

At present, Apple already has Android-to-iOS data transfer tools to facilitate the transition of Android users to the iOS platform, but the opposite direction is difficult to achieve.

The other is Apple's information function iMessage. As we all know, the default iMessage ID account is connected to the user's mobile phone number, and iPhone users receive and send text messages through the iMessage account rather than through the SIM card. This creates a problem: if an iOS user no longer uses an iPhone phone and opts for an Android phone, and he doesn't log out or unbind his Apple ID account, messages sent by other iPhone users will also be sent to the user's Apple ID instead of his mobile number. Apple also took the matter to court. In the end, Apple decided to remind users to turn off iMessage before switching to other platforms and provide a web tool to help users unbind their iMessage accounts.
