Apple is preparing to launch a new feature in iOS called "Transfer to Android" that will make it easier to switch from an iPhone to an Android phone. The feature will be able to wirelessly transfer an eSIM, as well as photos, messages, notes, and more. Third-party app data will also be included where app developers have enabled the feature, which is made possible by the brand-new "AppMigrationKit" API. This API can used for cross-platform transfers in either direction: "AppMigrationKit ... supports migration to and from non-Apple platforms, such as Android."

Competition or EU Requirement

Is this because competition means allowing customers to get out of one ecosystem and into another? I, for one, use my iPhones way more than my Androids, though I still love them. I'm glad they're allowing an easier way to go back and forth. My question is whether this is their own doing, based on customer feedback, or based on some EU law?
