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 (European News Agency)
The giant American electronics company Apple revealed its intention to make it easier for users to convert their iPhone smartphones to phones running the Android operating system during the next year as part of the implementation of the European Union Digital Markets Law, according to the German News Agency.
It is noteworthy that anyone who has an iPhone can use an application to help convert it to the Android operating system, but the process is still difficult for many users given that Apple still refuses to help by providing certain types of required data.
iPhone announced that the conversion option will be available to users by the third quarter of next year.
Apple said in a statement that it is developing "a solution that helps developers of mobile operating systems develop more suitable solutions for users to transfer data from an iPhone to a non-iPhone phone."
Apple also aims to provide the ability to transfer data from one Internet browsing application to another application on the same device by the end of this year or early next year.
This shift will facilitate the transition from Apple's Safari browser to Google's Chrome browser, for example.
The European Union issued a law aimed at encouraging fair competition in the technology and digital services market, including competition between Internet browsing programs.
The law aims to prevent companies from giving their services or applications preferential treatment and distinguishing them from the products of competing companies on their devices.
Strict rules began to be applied to giant internet platforms within the European Union.
So far, the European Commission has identified 22 digital services from 6 giant companies required to implement the new rules, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, which owns Google, and Meta, which owns the American network Facebook and Instagram, in addition to the Chinese TikTok.
