‘Phones powered by Android are the most widely used in the world (although Apple makes the most money when it comes to selling smartphones),” Travel12h reports. “According to an app in the Google Play Store, at least 10 million Android users have switched to iOS in the last couple of years.”
“This figure is based on an app called Move to iOS,” Travel12h reports. “The app helps Android users switch from an Android powered handset to an Apple iPhone by easily moving content and apps from an Android phone to one powered by iOS.”
“By October 2015, 1 million to 5 million Android users had installed the app. Less than a year later, that figure was up to 10 million to 50 million. Now, we can’t assume that everyone who installed the app swapped to an iPhone,” Travel12h reports. “Nor can we assume that the actual number of installations of the app equals the high number in the range. Even if we use the minimum figures, that would indicate that at least 10 million Android users have made the switch over the last one and a half to two years.”
