For some inexplicable reason, Android fans threw a fit over the release of Apple’s Move to iOS app earlier this week. The app simply helps Android users migrate contacts, photos, messages, bookmarks and more from their device to an iPhone or iPad, but some diehards saw it as in intrusion on their home turf.

Now they have an app to download in response.

Apple’s self-driving car sounds like it’s closer to being unveiled than anyone expected

Apple takes its time launching new products, as the company will sometimes reveal in the aftermath of its announcements. Johny Ive and Co. worked on the Watch for at least three years before making it official, and 3D Touch for the iPhone 6s required “multi, multi multi years” to complete. For the time being, Apple’s Project Titan car is also a more-or-less well-kept secret, but Apple’s first vehicle might also become the first Apple product to be confirmed well ahead of an announcement. After all, it will be very hard for Apple to hide that it’s testing prototypes on the open road, especially if it’s a self-driving car.
