Apple is developing an iPhone-to-Android data migration tool in Europe. But do people really want to leave iPhone for Android?
The Digital Markets Act legislation is in effect in Europe, which means iPhone sideloading is technically a thing. In practice, third-party app marketplaces aren't here yet, so you can't sideload any apps right now. But the March 7th deadline for compliance surfaced a document from Apple that outlines all the ways it'll change the iPhone in Europe to meet the DMA requirements. One upcoming change is something I didn't expect.
If the EU mandated it via the DMA, regulators clearly aren't aware of what's happening in the mobile world. According to data collected by Statista, Android has been the dominant platform in Europe since 2013. Last year, Android phones accounted for nearly 65% of the market, with the iPhone making up the rest, or almost 35% of the market. The iPhone has been on the rise since 2020 when it held 28.33% of the market. Switching to Android isn't technically difficult.
