Actually, Apple is not quite friendly towards Android devices. If you have ever tried to use an Android cell phone on a Mac/iMac/MacBook, you must have found out that Mac cannot detect any Androids, let alone android photo transfer. It comes to be a great annoyance which is however not yet settled by Apple. For me, Apple seems to pay no attention to complaints of this kind. This giant would be glad to see you switch to its 'powerful' iPhones.
