Apple plans to make it easier for users to convert their iPhone smartphones to phones running the Android operating system during the next year. Anyone with an iPhone can use an application to help convert it to the Android system, but the process is difficult because Apple refuses to provide certain types of requested data.

Apple also aims to provide the ability to transfer data from one Internet browsing application to another application on the same device. The European Union issued a law aimed at encouraging fair competition in the technology and digital services market, including competition between Internet browsing programs.
