Android phones are dominating the smartphone market. However, there are more and more Android users switch to use iPhones, at least about 10 million. 

10 million Android users switch to iPhones

The smartphone market is now dominated by three main type of smartphones: Android, iOS, and Windows. Among these 3 types, Android smartphones are the most popular. Android phones take about 88% market shares. However, in the past couple years, there are many Android users switch to use iPhones. And you might be surprised with the amount of these people- at least 10 million Android users.

So, how can we know that? It’s all thanks to an Apple app called Move to iOS in Google Play Store. This app helps you to easily move all your data from your Android device to an iPhone, from contacts, pictures to apps. The number of downloads increases over time.  In October last year, there were about 1 million to 5 million people downloading this app. This means that there were about 1 million – 5 million Android smartphone users switch to iPhones.

Until March 2016, this number had increased. There were about 10 million to 50 million “Move to iOS” installations. Not everyone who downloaded this app has changed to iOS. However, the number of Android users switch to iPhones is at least about 10 million. This is a huge number, especially in just about 6 months.

iPhone is leading

Although Android handsets are taking a major proportion in the market, iPhone is still leading. There are more and more Android users switching to use iPhones. From September 2015 to March 2016, at least 10 million users move from Android devices to iPhones. The reason could be the high security and great experience. This year, Apple equipped many new and cool features to iPhones this year like water resistance or dual camera. This could make more Android users want to switch to iPhones.
