It doesn't matter whether you have an iPhone or the latest Android smartphone, dr.fone - Switch makes it super easy for users to switch data in between devices. To know more about why everyone is calling it the one-stop solution for transferring information from one device to the other, just go through some of its features as we discuss them next.

Compatible with Both Mac OS and Windows 10

The dr.fone - Switch software can be downloaded and installed on both Apple Macs and Windows 10 PCs because it works with both operating systems flawlessly, making it easier for users to use them on any device of their choosing.

Works on both Android and iOS Devices

All versions of Android and up to iOS 12 is supported. dr.fone - Switch doesn't just work on Android smartphones and iPhones, but the transfer app works on Android tablets and iPads too.

Aside from the obvious Apple and Google devices, almost any device running on Android OS from manufacturers like Sony, HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola, Huawei, Oppo and ZTE work without a hitch with dr.fone - Switch. In fact, this isn't even the complete list of manufacturers because if you have a smart device that runs on some version of the iOS or Android OS, dr.fone - Switch will probably be compatible with it.

Safety and Reliability

Not even dr.fone gets to keep your data as you are the only one in control of it. The switching software only reads and transfers the data from one device to the other, while nothing is stored on the cloud. It also guarantees zero data loss as overwriting is not even an option until you actually want to delete anything while transferring the data.

You Can Transfer Data from an iOS Device to an Android Device Without a Computer

If you don't have access to a Mac or a PC right now, dr.fone - Switch also has an Android Switch application that you can install on your Android device to complete the transfer. It supports the transfer in the two following ways.

1.      You can log in to your iCloud account from the Android device with the help of the app, and download everything from contacts to media onto the smartphone/tablet.

2.      You will need an iOS-to-Android adapter for this one and once you use it to connect the two devices, the application can then be used to switch data from the iOS device to the Android device.

Data can be lost from computers in more ways than one, but EaseUS promises to be the only solution you will ever need to both back up current data and to recover any lost data. Most of us have lost important documents, precious images and much more at some point and it never feels good, but is the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free version actually the only software we will ever need to help us out in such situations? Well, it certainly seems like so!

Backing Up Daily

The only way to absolutely make sure that you never lose any of your data is to back it up on a daily basis. All hardware storage devices in existence are susceptible to unforeseen crashes, which makes backing up data all the more necessary. With the help of the all new and updated EaseUS Todo Backup Home, users will be able to do exactly that as they can set up the software's automatic backup feature to consistently ensure that everything is always backed up on the cloud. Ideally, this should save you even the trouble of having to use EaseUS's deleted data recovery feature itself!

Support for Multiple Devices

Whatever storage unit the data was lost from, it is almost an assured thing that EaseUS supports deleted data recovery from that specific piece of hardware. This means that USB drives, memory cards, HDDs, SSDs and just about any other type of PC/Mac storage unit all kinds of flash storage devices are supported by the software, as far as data recovery is concerned.

Support for Multiple Formats

Just like EaseUS supports almost all storage devices, the software also supports the recovery of almost every common data type out there. The total number exceeds 1,000 easily, so it would be impossible to list them all here. Nonetheless, the following list should give you an idea about the supported file formats.

Image: JPG/JPEG, TIFF/TIF, PNG, BMP, GIF, etc.

Video: MP4, M4V, 3GP, 3G2, WMV, MKV, FLV, MPG, MPEG, etc.

Audio: MP3, WAV, WMA, MID/MIDI, RealAudio,  AAC, etc.

Document: DOC/DOCX, XLS/XLSX, PPT/PPTX, PDF, CWK, HTML/HTM, INDD, EPS, etc.

Miscellaneous: ZIP, RAR, ISO, exe, html, etc.

Recovery is Available for Most Types of Data Loss

Depending on how you have lost the data and what was done after that, the success rate of any data recovery tool will vary, but EaseUS supports data recovery in 3 easy steps, from most common types of data loss, which include the following.

·        Data lost due to formatting, crash, partitioning or hardware failure

·        Data deleted or lost due to malware related activities

·        Data lost through accidental deletion

As a pro tip, we would suggest stop using the device in question, right after the incident which resulted in the loss of data. The more you use the storage device, the higher are the chances of the deleted data being overwritten and lost forever. If you are a professional, we suggest getting the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Technician license, to service as many devices as you need to.

New Features

 

A number of new features have been added to the software, alongside multiple improvements in the stability and efficacy of the recovery tool. Among them, the following are the highlights.

·        Better searching and filtering options for precise recovery

·        Scans find the files much faster than before

·        Better preview feature

·        Better retention of original file names and directory structures in recovered data

Is EaseUS Worth Your Money?

Well, the short answer to that would be yes, but given that download free data recovery software from them and try it out yourself, it's not even a valid question really! If you like the features as much as we did after trying it out, you can pay for the full version, which comes with 24-hour customer support and a 30-day money back guarantee.

I'm sure that after getting to know about these different iPhone tools, you would be able to transfer files from iPhone to PC like a pro. From all these tools, we recommend dr.fone - Transfer (iOS). It is a tried and tested solution that lets us take a complete control of our iOS device. You can easily move your data from iPhone and computer (or other smartphones). This is why the tool is often used by experts and now you can also make the most of your device with it.

The iOS is still unmatched in terms of security but as anyone who has ever owned an iPhone or an iPad will tell you, transferring data to and from iOS devices is a real hassle. Of course, iTunes is useful and it does solve some of the problems that the closed nature of iOS brings with it, but even iTunes is quite limited in the features it offers and doesn't support a lot of video and audio formats unfortunately. The IOTransfer 3 iPhone manager claims to be the perfect iTunes alternative but with plenty of other features and none of the limitations. Taking a closer look reveals why it's actually a pretty good claim!

One-Click Backup

Backing up data is of course a necessary feature and iTunes offers the same as well, but where IOTransfer 3 beats iTunes is in the ease of use and versatility. IOTransfer 3 has a one-click backup option which lets users back up the data on their iPhones and iPads by clicking just one on-screen button, but that's not even the best part. IOTransfer 3 doesn't only support backing up of photos, videos and music like iTunes, but the iPhone manager can also transfer and back up eBooks, podcasts, voice memos, movie files, contacts and even apps with just one-click. In case you need to delete multiple files from your iOS device at once, the interface has the option for bulk deleting as well.

Drag and Drop to Transfer Files in between Your PC and iPhone

As someone who uses both iPhones and Android smartphones, I can tell you that the convenience of simply dragging and dropping to transfer files to and from my computer and smartphone is something that I utterly miss each time I have to use iTunes. IOTransfer 3 solves that problem by enabling drag and drop sharing in between iOS devices and PCs so that's a huge bonus here.

Download Online Videos for Free

The App Store doesn't have any apps for downloading YouTube videos and while Google does allow offline watching, the offline videos can only be played from the YouTube website or application. IOTransfer 3's VideoDownload function on the other hand, gives users the power to download and transfer any video they want from not just YouTube, but most websites on the internet. You can download and save the videos directly onto your iOS device or just keep it on your PC for the time being. What this means is that you can watch any online video any time you want, without even needing an active internet connection, as long as you have already used IOTransfer 3 to download it.

Convert Videos to Any Format

Whether you want to make an audio file from of a video, or if you just want to compress a video without compromising on the original quality of the file, IOTransfer 3's video converter can do both and much more. Some of the supported formats for the conversion (from and to) feature include MP4, AVI, MKV, FLV and MP3 among plenty of others. Once you have converted the video in the desired format, just transfer it directly to the iPhone or iPad from your computer to enjoy the content in high quality, whenever you want and wherever you want.

Make Online GIFs

There's just something about GIFs that never seems to wear off from social media and you can use your JPG, PNG, BMP and webp images to make GIFs of your own with IOTransfer 3's own GIF maker. In fact, you don't even need to download the software or sign up on their website, as anyone can use the GIF maker online simply by visiting the link. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the site did not put any watermark on the GIFs I made either, which was both surprising and nice.

Transfer Your Files Wirelessly with AirTrans

We are fast approaching a point where wired connections will be completely unnecessary and IOTransfer 3 aims to provide exactly that with its AirTrans feature. As long as both your iOS device and your computer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network, AirTrans will help you transfer music, photos, videos and documents from your iPhone or iPad to your computer and vice-versa. The feature can be used for backing up data, or it can simply be used to transfer data in between the PC and the iOS device wirelessly.

What Else?

The latest version of IOTransfer 3 fixed some bugs and further enhanced the UI to become even more stable and user-friendly than before. A new Clean feature was added to directly clean junk files and cache data from IOTransfer 3's interface.

Is It Worth Your Time?

Given that it can do pretty much everything that iTunes can and a lot of other things that iTunes simply can't, it would be a safe bet to say that IOTransfer 3 is well worth everybody's time and will probably make iTunes more or less useless for transfers, once you start using it. If you are worried about compatibility, rest assured that IOTransfer is compatible with all latest iOS devices like the iPhone XR/ XS/ XS Max and iPad Pro 3, as well as all the older models.
