How to easily switch from Android to iPhone!

Google makes it easier than ever to switch from Android to iPhone

We've been getting a lot of feedback from people who want to switch to iPhone but are worried that it might be too much work — and are especially concerned over the stress over finding new apps and services to replace the ones they've been using on Android. Luckily, that's not the case, thanks to Google!

That's because Google treats the iPhone as a first-class citizen and makes sure all their best apps and services work great on iOS. It's in Google's best interest, after all: They're first and foremost an advertising company and the more people who use their apps and services, the more attention and data those services get.

The best of all worlds

With iPhone, you not only get all of Apple's great apps, but almost all of Google's, and the best of Microsoft and pretty much every other platform as well. It makes switching to iPhone not only relatively painless, but pleasurable. That's one of the iPhone's biggest strengths — it enjoys first-class support from everyone else — and one of the biggest reasons to switch.
