On the day of the iOS 8 launch and just 48 hours before the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus big launch, Apple is helping all of you move away from Android phones. 

This easy-to-follow guide has simple information and pictures, so even an Android user can do it. Moving your content to a new iPhone 6 or Phone 6 Plus will be the last thing you do on an Android phone before you embrace a more elegant experience. Apple sold millions of iPhone 6 models in the first few days, so more and more Android users must be switching.

The basics

This new page is divided into sections about Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and then you have some tips for moving your photos and videos. Your music will need to get into iTunes and your books and PDFs will find a new home in iBooks. Moving documents is easy as well and there's a short guide on how to find similar or better apps.

When it comes to Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, you can use Gmail, Exchange, Yahoo, and other services or providers. All you have to do is add your email accounts or use an app like Copy My Data for iOS and Android. By signing into your social media sites, you will bring some of your contact info to iOS as well.

For photos and videos there are a few apps to help you move them over, but it is always easier to use a computer for that. Photo Sync for iOS and Android can help you.

Content is king

Your music is important, and there are two main ways to move it from your old Samsung or Nexus to the shiny, new iPhone. Apple recommends a streaming music app like Pandora or Beats Music so you can play your music and not even bother with moving the music files. If you really want to, just import your old media into iTunes and go from there.

iBooks works with ePub and PDF formats, so you can easily import them using your computer. The same works for Documents.

When it comes to apps, iOS already has the best ones out there, so there's no need to worry. You will not find any malware, Android OS viruses, or bloatware on your iPhone. As long as you have an iTunes account, just log in and download all your favorites.

Make sure to read all the steps and have a great experience with iPhone.
