Ahead of the iPhone 6 launch, Apple has posted an entire support guide on moving your content from your Android phone to your iPhone.
The guide covers setting up mail, contacts and calendar accounts on your iPhone, as well as copying over other files such as music, photos, videos, apps and more. Apple features a couple of different third-party apps to help users copy their data from Android to iPhone including Copy My Data, AT&T Mobile Transfer,Photosync, and Android File Transfer.
Ready to make the switch to iPhone? Here are some tips for moving your photos, music, documents, and more from your Android phone to iPhone.
The iPhone 6 is shaping up to be a massive upgrade cycle for many customers, so it's not surprising seeing Apple attempting to lure as many customers as possible. Apple already announced record breaking pre-order numbers for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus and supply is already starting to slip.

My, my, Samsung has poked fun and woke up the 600lb gorilla. Withhout knowing the true performance benchmark, it would only be fair to say that now Apple has a phone that boasts a screen size the same size Samsung's phablet. For all people that went with Samsung's notes, it is now an issue of curiosity.
If the benchmarks tips heavily in favor of Apple, I see Samsung in big, big trouble. It's so fun to be watching the them fight each other.
I see a flood of 5/5S on sale on Craigslist, hehehe!

Just in time for 6 because it's greater than s5 and note 4. Plain and simple just like surveys conveyed.

I'm sure it's in here but the more I look at Apple the more I'm starting to wonder if we are really getting our money's worth? Less than a gig of RAM on the latest device? Only way to get a half-decent battery is to buy the Plus? I have been an Apple user for a long time, but if my Plus doesn't live up to the task I'll have to start looking elsewhere.

What do you do on your iPhone that requires more than 1 gig of ram? Are you facing memory issues? What model iPhone are you using?

Android base on Linux but application mostly using Java, thus it need lots of memory. iOS base on NextSTEP unix like OS and iOS application are develop in Objective C.
As what you mention, Java vs C in term of performance is clear, java is slow thus need much higher CPU and lots of memory.
Samsung Note 3 have 3GB ram, compare to iphone 5s which only 1GB ram and lower CPU core and clock speed yet when running the same application that appear on both platform Note 3 still lose out to iPhone.
For Android and iOS we cant just simply do the bare metal comparison only, application and OS performance count too and this is the major factor affecting user experience.

What about ghz then if we're supposed to believe that, but if you look at the phones completely, none come close to beating iPhone.

And how do I move contents from iphone 5s to my new Galaxy S5 64gb with a 128Gb micro usb and is under water and wireless charging.

The guide says it's for moving to iPhone, not from iPhone. Besides, my iPhone does the same things Galaxy does. Liquipeled my phone and carry a Genneo to charge by movement. Saves money on electricity and wireless that also has an SD card accessory.

I doubt there is anything. It needs to make a way now that apple made a path for helping users switch.

That s5 sounds nice if it didn't feel like cheap plastic and running android I would have considered it !

Thank god I can finally transfer my angry birds data. Even apple is smart to help users prepare a change. Time to finally sell the tablet no one really cared about since my dad randomly got awarded it with the main prize (tickets).
