So, iPhones are not as incontestable as they already were, but the acceptable annual is that you don't absolutely charge one. Not if you're accommodating to accomplish the about-face to Android.
Credit: Tom's GuideYes, Android, that adventurous little Google-built OS, has appear a continued way aback its apprehensive origins on the Motorola Droid. Today, Android is the best accepted adaptable OS in the world, featuring a amazing array of apps and a buzz archetypal to clothing every annual and lifestyle.
But we don't charge to argue you of Android's merits; if you're here, you've already absitively to accomplish the switch. You ability charge some advice with the change, though. Apple locks you into a actual bound ecosystem, and alike afterwards you get your Android buzz up and running, circadian tasks will be a little altered than you bethink them. However, the accommodation is that you'll be able to install whatever apps you want, administer your files in any way you see fit and absorb a accomplished lot beneath money on a phone, if you so choose.
Bear in apperception that this is aloof a accepted guide, and it will not airing you through anniversary footfall in absolute detail. If there's a accurate affection about which you'd like added information, let us apperceive in the comments, and we'll assignment up a adviser for it.
The first, and best difficult, allotment of switching from iOS to Android is selecting a new phone. iPhone alternative is about appealing simple: There's the latest model, in both small- and large-screen formats, and there's aftermost year's model, which now costs a little less. There's additionally a archetypal from two years ago, which you can buy if you appetite your arrangement to become anachronistic as bound as possible. (At the time of writing, those would be the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, iPhone 7, and iPhone 6s, respectively). This year, we had an added contraction with the iPhone X, but the basal band is the same: Your options are limited.
Credit: Tom's GuideNot so with Android devices. There are hundreds of Android phones out there, but alike if you absolute your chase to your accurate carrier and models that accept appear out aural the aftermost year or two, you could acquisition yourself with about 20 or 30 applicable options.
Because new phones are advancing out constantly, it's absurd to accomplish specific buzz recommendations on this page. However, you should argue the Tom's Adviser lists for best smartphones and best Android phones as a starting point. These will advice point you to the affection set that's appropriate for you.

If you're switching to Android primarily because iPhones accept gotten too pricey, we additionally accept a annual of the best bargain Android smartphones.
Generally speaking, afore you aces a phone, you should accomplish a brainy annual of what you use your buzz for. If all you charge are social-networking and email apps, you can airing abroad with a annual phone. For those who angular heavily on music and video, a beyond awning ability be a acute investment, as ability acceptable speakers and abundant microSD storage. If you use your buzz as a gaming device, it ability advice to get article powerful.
Personally, I've begin that the one breadth area iPhones about accomplish bigger than Android phones is the camera. If you appetite your smartphone to booty arch shots, you'll apparently accept to advance in a flagship buzz that's priced analogously to an iPhone. Weigh your options appropriately if switching isn't absolutely imperative.
The acceptable annual about appointment files from your old buzz is that it's not as time-sensitive as you ability think. If you've been application an Apple artefact for any breadth of time greater than about a month, you'll apparently accept accumulated lots of contacts, photos, music, apps and more. These are all synced with your iCloud account, and your iCloud annual doesn't absolutely go anywhere aloof because you get rid of your old phone.
(You can additionally aback up being through iTunes manually, but assurance me, it's easier to aloof use iCloud. Your iTunes purchases are castigation to keep, anyway. Added on that later.)
Before you accomplish the jump, though, you should aback up your old buzz one aftermost time, again factory-reset it to assure your security. Apple provides a actual abundant adviser on how to accomplish a backup, but the basal basis is this:
Connect to a Wi-Fi network, go to Settings and tap on your name. Tap on iCloud, and ensure that iCloud Advancement is angry on. Then, tap Aback Up Now, and delay for the abracadabra to happen. This could booty absolutely a while, depending on your connection, so be patient.
When that's complete, it couldn't aching to log into iCloud on a computer, aloof to accomplish abiding all of your files accept transferred successfully.

Aloof be abiding to about-face off Acquisition My iPhone first; if you don't, the abutting user won't be able to set up the buzz after putting in your email abode first.

Go to Settings, Accepted and Reset. Enter your Apple ID password, and chase the instructions on screen. That's it. You're chargeless from Apple's abstruse yoke. You can advertise your old iPhone to a buzz store, or accord it to a acquaintance or relative. Some carriers action trade-in deals, which can cut the amount of that new Android accessory you're attractive to buy. If your iPhone is actual old or in bad shape, you can consistently accord it instead. Best buzz food accept donation boxes, as do some badge stations and abandoned shelters.
Because your files are (hopefully) backed up in your iCloud account, there's no blitz on appointment best of them. The alone affair you'll charge appropriate abroad is your annual of contacts — which is, thankfully, actual attainable to upload assimilate an Android phone.
First, get your Android buzz up and running. Then, log in to your iCloud annual on a computer and go to the Contacts section. Select any contacts you'd like to accumulate (or aloof do a "select all"), again bang on the accessory figure to accompany up the Settings menu. Bang Export vCard, again save the book about on your computer.
Get the vCard to your Android buzz by any acceptable means, again attainable up your Contacts app. (This adjustment will alter slightly, depending on your buzz carrier.) There should be an Import/Export advantage in the Settings menu. Tap on it, again cross to your vCard file. Android will amount all of your iOS contacts aural minutes.
You can alteration appealing abundant annihilation from iOS if you're accommodating to put in the effort, from argument letters to agenda appointments. However, aback argument letters and agenda accessories are brief things by nature, it's not a huge accord if you accept to alpha from scratch. What's abundant added important is accepting your movies, music and photos assimilate a new device.
Credit: GoogleLuckily, Google offers an app alleged Music Manager, which will catechumen your iTunes accumulating into a added Google-friendly format. (No, MP3s don't accept the exact aforementioned allegiance as iTunes' M4P files, but you're apparently not activity to apprehension the aberration on a smartphone's speakers or a bargain brace of earbuds.) Aloof download the program, attainable your iTunes music folder, and annoyance and bead the closing into the former.
Give it some time to sync, and you're acceptable to go. You can now admission your music from the Google Comedy Music app — or aloof annoyance and bead your anew adapted MP3s assimilate your phone, if you adopt not to beck them.
Movies are alike easier. Thanks to the contempo Movies Anywhere deal, annihilation you've bought on iTunes should now (or actual shortly) be attainable through the Google Comedy Movies and TV store. (TV shows are a altered story, unfortunately; those are ashore in iTunes for the moment.)
Transferring photos is actual agnate to appointment music. Log in to your iCloud account, again download your photo accumulating assimilate your computer. Then, appointment the Google Photos website, bang upload and let the website handle the rest. Now, you can admission all of your photos through Google's billow annual rather than Apple's. You can additionally configure your new buzz to automatically upload whatever you shoot to Google Photos.
Just about every app you use on iOS is additionally accessible on Android, but there's no attainable way to alteration over an app list. Instead, you can either accomplish a annual of apps you use every day afore you abolish your phone, or analysis which apps you've downloaded on iCloud. Then, download them one by one on Android. It's a pain, but it's the alone way.
Bear in apperception that you'll accept to repurchase any paid apps, while abounding chargeless apps won't absorb annal of your in-app purchases. Games, in particular, are a gray area; about speaking, amateur will save your advance amid platforms (as continued as you accompany the bold with your Facebook account, or the specific game's servers), but any microtransactions or in-game bill won't survive the cross-platform trip.
Subscription services, such as Spotify or Netflix, will action normally. Aloof accomplish abiding to use the aforementioned login that you acclimated on iOS.
That should aloof about awning all the basics. All that's larboard is to apprentice how to do accustomed tasks on Android — and to be honest, that's aloof a amount of arena with Google's apartment of apps and seeing which ones clothing you best.
Messages is the absence texting app; it's about abundant bigger than whatever SMS app your buzz carrier may try to saddle you with. Likewise, stick with Email for non-Gmail accounts, Buzz for calls and Chrome for internet browsing.
Credit: Marshall Honoroff/Tom's GuideDrive is your billow storage; Docs is your chat processor; Sheets is your spreadsheet program. Comedy Music, Comedy Movies and Google Photos are absolutely what they complete like, while Duo will let you accomplish video calls. Of course, the adorableness of Android is that if you don't like any of these programs, you can download added ones, from both the Google Comedy Abundance or any third-party source.
The alone added affair I'd acclaim to alpha is a book manager. Some phones appear with one (such as Moto Book Manger), but otherwise, you can get Astro or ES for chargeless on the Comedy Store. Aback Android lets you annoyance and bead aloof about annihilation from a PC actual easily, it pays to be able to cross your files, aloof as you would on Windows or Mac. It's additionally accessible for alteration ringtones or text-message noises.
Android, in general, is a little added DIY and a little beneath academic than iOS, so the best way to apprentice about your new arrangement is to aloof booty some time and comedy with it. You'll anon acquisition that you don't absence the bogus restrictions that iOS put on you — or that the iPhone put on your wallet.
