Humble apologetic confession, and a question

[rootabaga]

My humble apologies, folks. For the past few years, I have been a closet iOS user, since my trusty old Motorola would not come into the modern LTE age and my employer gave me my old work iPhone when I retired. Since my wife is an iPhone fan, I had consigned myself to buying another iPhone to replace my aged and no-longer-supported iPhone (since she relies on me to answer any question or solve any issue she may have with her iPhone; after all, it's far easier to help someone with an OS when you use it yourself).

Thankfully, the story does not end there. Fate happily intervened in my favor when my carrier put out an offer for half-off a new Pixel 9, which would have been my choice to return to the Android world anyway. I mentioned this deal to my wife and, as I suspected, her concerns about spending money overcame her concerns about iOS support, so my new Pixel 9 is arriving today, and I couldn't be happier about the way things turned out.

That said, I have a tech question, and where better to put it than in my favorite Android forum (name change aside)?

Is there any kind of easy way to migrate contacts, notes, files and music from the iPhone to the Pixel? I can backup the iPhone data to my laptop with iTunes, but I'm not sure about getting into the Pixel other than manually coping or entering items. Ugh.

So, if you're familiar with that challenge or have some ideas, please let me know.

Thankful to be back in the Android world!

Why closet? This isn't Android Forums anymore and there's really no one here to get mad at you anyway!

That's okay buddy - admitting the problem is the first step to recovery

Who are you kidding? I can't even admit here that I use a Windows PC! [oops!]

I have an iOS Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max, MacBook Pro M1 Pro, and AirPod Pros 2. I also have Pixel 7 (live and active.) and I'm not sorry. AND. I. DON'T. CARE. WHAT. ANY. OF. YOU. THINK! In fact, you folks are the only ones even here. I do love you all, though.

Thanks…I had found that (and some other stuff) but the details are a little curious. Have you actually done this?

Thanks, I just wanted to check. My last career was in tech and I’m all to familiar with pages that give you something that sounds great, but the reality is all too different.
