Making the move to a new phone can seem daunting, but this year, Google is making it easier than ever for potential iPhone converts to make the jump to Pixel 10 and switch allegiances over to Android.
While there are lots of tools out there that have been developed to make the whole iOS-to-Android jump that bit easier, it’s still a massive pain for lots of people especialyl if they are entrenched within Apple’s increasingly siloed “garden.”
Google already has the Android Switch app on iOS that is designed to make things easy when ditching your iPhone. They’ve gone a step further with the Pixel 10 launch to take even more pain away from the iPhone switch process.
If you pre-order or purchase a Pixel 10 series handset directly from the Google Store, you’ll receive a helpful email that prepares your iPhone data for transfer. This will include passwords from iOS, other wallet items, and app data. It’ll do this even before your new phone arrives.

Once you have your new Pixel 10 in hand, the support continues. If you’re new to Android, your Pixel 10 will provide contextual tips as you use it, guiding you through basic functions like taking a screenshot or turning the device off. Most of that is not new, but it might help those not familiar with the intricacies of Android make that daunting jump over from the mess that is Liquid Glass on iPhone.
To simplify things further, the upgraded My Pixel app works in tandem with these features to get you up to speed quickly. When combined, these tools aim to make your switch as effortless as possible, so you can start enjoying your new device without any stress. You can also stay connected with your friends and family using RCS in Google Messages, no matter what phone they have.
A new on-device, AI-powered agent is also available to provide instant support and help troubleshoot issues. This agent can seamlessly hand you off to a live customer support representative if you need further assistance. It’s up to Google now to convince people to switch from iPhone to the Pixel 10, but maybe this might give people an easier “out” from Apple if they want it.
