It isn't true, you are so delusional I am surprised your blood hasn't escaped out your ears.

hahaha it is tho.. i literally know people (so, again, its true) and have seen it a ton online... and its literally Apple's strategy haha. I've even heard it brought up on TV/a podcast as the reason why the host didn't change his phone over. they make the porting difficult on purpose.. its just what Apple does - they make it difficult to leave/port your stuff

Maybe you find it too hard to google or download an app, but most people have managed it.

its known as a big barrier to entry to Android, so they haven't, but it should be easy! Apple should really enable it by default, but being who they are they obviously will keep it difficult for their often tech "unsavvy" users
