Actually, there are a number of methods to migrate the data from an iPhone to a HTC Android phone. For example, if you want to move contacts, one way is through Google account or Gmail. With a few taps on both your devices, the contacts will be easily transferred.

Luckily, Phone Transfer is primarily responsible for such kinds of task. It can transfer almost everything such as contacts, text messages, photos, music tracks and other files from phone straight to phone without any hassle.
