One of the main reasons that people do not like to move from one operating system to another is because they are concerned that they will not be able to take all of their data with them. Photos, contacts, apps, videos, and music are all essential things that we come to rely upon and greatly enjoy on our smartphones, and the idea of having to start from scratch can be very irritating. However, if you are currently on an Android device and you definitely love the look of an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus, then do not worry: there is now a ridiculously easy way for you to transfer all of your data.


This switching process means that you will not have to spend a lot of time and effort trying to transfer all of your apps and the data within them over to your new phone: instead, you can have them waiting on your new iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus. The same goes for all of your music, your contacts, your photographs, your music, and your videos, so that almost as soon as you start to use your new iPhone it will feel like your device, with everything on it ready and waiting for you.
