Apple Working on iPhone to Android Data Transfer to Comply with EU Law
-
Apple is developing a "user-friendly" solution to make it easier to transfer user data from an iPhone to an Android phone, in order to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA).
-
The solution aims to build on existing third-party migration tools and help operating system providers develop better data transfer options.
-
Apple plans to launch this iPhone to Android data transfer solution around Fall 2025.
-
It's unclear exactly how the solution will work - it sounds like Apple may just be providing tools for others like Google to build data transfer apps.
-
The solution may end up being limited to the EU given Apple's approach to DMA compliance.
