Apple won't say how many iPhones were sold globally before Christmas. But thanks to data from Google's Play Store, we know that Santa Claus left quite a few iPhones under the tree in 2024. As you may already know, Apple offers an Android application called “Migrate to iOS” which helps support Google OS users who are going to switch to the iPhone. And Play Store data indicates that this app was very popular in the days following Christmas.
Some English-speaking sites mentioned the presence of “Migrate to iOS” in the ranking of the most popular Android apps, the day after Christmas. And, according to Appfigures, “Migrate to iOS” is the 14th most popular Android app in the United States right now. And in France, this application is even in 7th position.
Unfortunately, we do not have more precise information on downloads. But in any case, the ranking suggests that the iPhone is among the most popular Christmas gifts in 2024. Those who download this application may be people whowill use an iPhone for the first time, or people who will return to the Apple platform.
L’iPhone sans Apple Intelligence
The most surprising thing is that, for the moment, Apple Intelligence, the main Apple novelty of 2024, is not yet available in the European Union for the iPhone and iPad. As a result, those who bought the iPhone at Christmas were therefore interested in other features (orapps available on iOS).
As a reminder, Apple Intelligence is still only available in English. And it is blocked in the EU because of the rules of the Digital Markets Act. However, Apple has already indicated that its AI will support other languages, including French, Chinese, German, Italian and Portuguese, later.
Additionally, the firm has already indicated that it will launch Apple Intelligence for iPhone and iPad in the EU in April.“Coming April, Apple Intelligence features will begin rolling out to iPhone and iPad users in the European Union. They will include many essential Apple Intelligence features, including writing tools, Genmoji, a new Siri with better language understanding, ChatGPT integration, and more., the firm indicated in a press release in October.
