The process of transferring data from an Android device to an iPhone or iPad, often facilitated by Apple’s “Move to iOS” application, generally requires a Wi-Fi connection. This network access is utilized to establish a private wireless network between the two devices, enabling the secure transfer of contacts, message history, photos, videos, web bookmarks, mail accounts, and calendars.
A stable and reliable Wi-Fi connection is crucial for a successful and efficient data migration. The amount of data being transferred directly impacts the time required, and an unstable connection can lead to interruptions, potentially corrupting the data or necessitating a restart of the process. Historically, this reliance on Wi-Fi aimed to ensure a secure and controlled data transfer environment, minimizing the risk of data interception or loss.
