If you are thinking about changing your phone and think that this might involve a – for some drastic – switch from Android to iPhone, you are in the right place to understand what the characteristics of an Apple device are.
Also, if you dread the thought of getting a new, empty phone, and losing all the old data you carefully stored on your previous smartphone, don’t despair.
In this guide, we’ll also show you how to transfer everything you need from your old Android to your new iPhone, without losing anything: photos, contacts, notes or simple files, everything can follow you to your new phone.
Why switch to iPhone?
Although you will probably need some time to get used to your new device (because don’t worry, it’s a well-known fact that switching from Android to iPhone takes some getting used to), you should consider the advantages of an Apple device.
Higher quality and safety, certainly higher performance with all applications, not to mention the electronic aging time, which for devices with the apple on the back are significantly higher than for any competitor, be it Samsung, Huawei or Xiaomi.
You may now think that all these qualities are not justified by the certainly higher price of Apple devices, especially compared to those of its competitors, but here again we have the right solution for you. If you want a quality and high-performance device that will not let you down after just a few years, what you may not have considered is buying a refurbished smartphone, that is, a device that has been refurbished and is fully functional.
You’ll be reassured to know that refurbished phones are checked on several points – at CertiDeal in particular, we test on no less than 32 points, we guarantee our devices for 24 months and offer free returns up to the first 21 days after purchase. Of course, the cost of a refurbished phone is much lower than that of a smartphone purchased new, so it may be the right solution for you.
How to transfer data from Android to iPhone?
Once you have made the final decision and purchased your iPhone, whether new or refurbished, all you have to do is transfer all your data from your old smartphone to the new one.
To carry out this operation, which should not scare you in any way because it is quite simple and quick, you can choose between several methods, depending on the amount of data you need to transfer from one device to another.
It is also important to know how much time you have to do this operation, whether you want to do it manually or not, and whether you want to transfer all your data without distinction or whether you want to choose yourself which ones you want to keep and which ones you don’t.
Migrate to iOS:
The fastest and easiest way to transfer data from an Android device to an Apple device is to do it through an app created by Apple to facilitate this operation, called “Move to iOS”. The app can be downloaded on almost all Android devices that have access to the Play Store. Here is the link in case you need it.
So you will need to download the app on your old phone, turn on your new iPhone and, before setting it up, click directly on “migrate data from Android” and then on “continue”.
Finally, all you have to do is select the content you want to copy to the new device and then complete the setup of your iPhone.
To make the operation easier, we suggest you keep both devices close to each other, both connected to the power supply until both displays indicate the end of the data transfer. The operation should not take too long, but it mainly depends on the amount of data you are transferring.
If, on the other hand, you had already set up the iPhone before starting the data transfer, you will now be forced to perform a reset, because the Switch to iOs app only works on iPhones that have not yet been set up.
However, some data cannot be migrated automatically via this app from an Android device to an Apple device: these include music, books, and PDF files, which must therefore be transferred manually. Below we will see how to do it easily.
Manually Transfer Data from Android to iPhone
Although using data transfer apps is quite convenient, they are recommended if you have a large amount of data that you want to transfer in bulk to your new device.
On the other hand, if you want to manually select a few files because you don’t need to move them all to your new device, or if you want to transfer files, such as books and music, that are not included in the transfer with the Switch to iOS app, let’s see what are the alternatives to perform these tasks manually.
Obviously, in this case the procedure will be different depending on the type of data you want to transfer, but do not despair because in this guide you will find instructions for each type of file.
Transfer Photos and Videos from Android to iPhone:
To transfer all the media files from your old Android to an Apple device, there are two options. The first involves using a computer, which is essential to first copy all your photos and videos from your old smartphone, and then paste them into your new one.
This is definitely a longer procedure, and since there is no painless way to do a simple copy and paste from Android to Apple, we recommend that if you have a large amount of files, you download the Google Photos app.
