'Move to iOS' app will help make your switch from Android easy

Reports say Apple's upcoming mobile platform apparently comes with a new app called "Move to iOS" that wirelessly transfers data from Android devices to iPhones and iPads.

Sources say it was curiously skipped over during the company's WWDC keynote earlier, but Daring Fireball points it out buried underneath all the new features on the iOS 9 preview page. The page doesn't go into details, but "Move to iOS" will presumably be available on the Play Store, so you can download it on an Android device -- right next to Apple's other upcoming Android app -- to enable wireless transfer.

Apple says the process can securely copy over "your contacts, message history, camera photos and videos, web bookmarks, mail accounts, calendars, wallpaper, and DRM-free songs and books."

Also, it marks your free apps like Facebook as suggested downloads in the App Store, adds paid ones to your iTunesWishList and "helpfully" suggests recycling that old Android phone.
