WWDC 2015
Apple's WWDC keynote was today.
The biggest news of the event is probably that Apple plans to release Apple Music for Android. It'll be Apple's first application on a mobile OS that's not iOS. This move is Apple's acknowledgement to Android's market share in the world. But Apple Music is going to be the streaming service to beat with $14.99/month for 6 users; though, the competition have a significant lead. Google Play Music doesn't have such a feature as only one device can play music at one time.
While Apple has decided to make its Apple Music application for Android, they haven't given up on trying to get Android users to convert to iOS. Apple has created an Android application that will migrate Android data to the Apple platform (e.g. contacts, photos, messages, email). It'll even take your current library application and put it on your iOS device as best as possible. So will Google create a simple solution to convert iOS users to their platform? Well, it may not be possible in the Apple App Store... But tons of people have a Google account that makes it possible with a few apps.
