Apple plans to bring more apps and services to Android

According to a 9to5Mac report released on Friday, tech biggie Apple slowly started embracing rival Google's Android mobile operating system in 2015, by bringing some of its apps to the Android platform for the first time.

The first-ever Android app was rolled out by Apple in September 2015. The app - dubbed 'Move to iOS' - gave Android users the ability to transfer their music, photos, email accounts, and messages to Apple's iOS mobile operating system.

The released of the 'Move to iOS' app by Apple was followed by the company's two more apps for Android --- Apple Music, and Beats Pill+.

The new 9to5Mac report, citing unidentified sources familiar with the matter, has revealed that the Apple will apparently continue its move to Android in 2016 too. The company is reportedly mulling plans to bring more of its software and services to the Android OS.

Towards that end, the report disclosed that Apple CEO Tim Cook said at a recently-held Town Hall meeting for employees that "Apple is using Apple Music on Android as a way of testing the waters for growing its services division through other platforms, opening up the door for more porting in the future."
