• If the iPhone user is going to switch from iPhone
  to S6, he/she need to think about the data
  transfers between iPhone and the Android phone.
  After using iPhone for years, users will have
  tons of important information in their iPhone,
  and when they want to switch from iOS to Android,
  they wont be able to restore the new Android
  phone with the iPhone backup, so the contacts,
  messages and so on wont be transferred to the
  Samsung Galaxy S6. Among all the data that need
  to be transferred, the contacts may be the most
  important kind. Transferring contacts from iPhone
  to Samsung Galaxy S6 isnt that easy, but it
  still can be done.
• Both iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S6 use vCard files
  when they save contacts, so iPhone users need to
  export contacts from iPhone to computer in vCard
  files, and then import the vCard files to Samsung
  Galaxy S6. The contacts will then be read by the
  Android phone. But how to export iPhone contacts
  to computer in vCards? In fact, users have two
  ways to do that. First way is to download My
  Contacts Backup on iPhone and use this app to
  email the contacts to computer. Then users can
  get the contacts in vCard files and import them
  to Samsung Galaxy S6. The other method is using a
  piece of iPhone data recovery software to export
  the contacts to computer.
