Apple is now making Apple has so far avoided making any of its apps available on Android. That makes this change of stance significant. 4h381y

The big news is that Apple Music, a music streaming service, is coming to Android later this year, specifically, this fall. While previously Apple apps and services have been available on iTunes and Apple Music.

There is a good chance that the Apple Music Android app will look and feel like an iOS app, just as iTunes for Windows looks like a Google tries to provide its Material Design experience on iOS. Ultimately, Apple would want Android s to switch to iOS as its hardware is its big money spinner.

Speaking of which, the other Android app unveiled at iPhone much easier. s, message history, camera photos and videos, web bookmarks, mail s, calendars, wallpaper, and DRM-free songs and books can be transferred to an iOS device using this app.

Apart from this, the Move to iOS app will help Android s build their app library too. It will suggest that you free apps (that you use on Android) via the App Store and if it finds paid apps on your Google , it will add those to your iOS App Store wishlist.

It appears as though it wants to build apps on Android to encourage people to switch to Apple products.
