    Transferring Contacts through iTunes:

    iTunes is a great application which can be used to sync the contacts saved on an iPhone with a Google account. Synced contacts are exported with their pictures, address, email address and any other contact notes provided. For this method you are required to have a computer with Internet access and iTunes installed.

    1. Launch iTunes on the computer
    2. Connect the iPhone to the PC via USB
    3. After it connects, the iPhone will appear in iTunes. Click it
    4. Access the "Info" tab and mark the check box next to "Sync Contacts With"
    5. From the drop-down menu, select "Google Contacts"
    6. Enter your Google account's log in credentials. If you've already registered a Google account in iTunes, you can click "Configure" and select it from the list
    7. Click "Apply" and the syncing process will commence
    8. Once the contacts have been synced, register the same account as the one used in iTunes, on the Galaxy Ace Style. NOTE: You can add new accounts by going to the "Settings" menu and tapping "Accounts"
    9. Lastly, allow the Google account to sync contacts with your Samsung smartphone

    Transferring Contacts via iCloud:

    As long as you've used the iCloud service on your iPhone, your contacts should be backed up on your iCloud account. As such, you can access your account using a computer with Internet access, and export them in the form of a vCard file. To do so:

    1. Launch the Internet browser on your computer and visit https://www.icloud.com/
    2. Sign in with your iCloud account
    3. Click "Contacts" and from the list, select the contacts that you wish to export
    4. Click the "Settings" icon located in the lower-left area of the screen
    5. Select "Export vCard" and wait for the VCF file to be downloaded on your computer
    6. Import the vCard file to "Google Contacts" or connect the Galaxy Ace Style to your computer via USB, and copy the file to the "sdcard" directory. Then, launch the "People" app and tap "Menu" > "Import / Export" > "Import from SD card". Choose an account if necessary, and load the vCard file

    Using "My Contacts Backup" to Transfer Contacts:

    You can use various third party applications in order to transfer your iPhone contacts without the need of a computer. "My Contacts Backup" is an iOS application that can back up the contacts stored on your iPhone, and send them via email to your Android smartphone.

    1. Visit the App Store and download "My Contacts Backup" on your iPhone
    2. Open the application and tap "Backup"
    3. Once the file is created, tap "Email" to attach the VCF file to a new email
    4. Use your own Gmail address as the email's recipient, and send the email to yourself
    5. On the Galaxy Ace Style, open the email and download the vCard file
    6. Lastly, open the "People" app and use the "Import / Export" function to import the vCard file's contents to your phonebook

    Transferring Contacts via "Send Anywhere":

    Last but not least, you can transfer your contacts from your iPhone directly to the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style using "Send Anywhere". This is an iOS and Android app with the help of which you can transfer various types of files through a P2P connection. To do so:

    1. Visit the Google Play Store and install "Send Anywhere" on the Samsung device
    2. From the App Store, download the same application on your iPhone
    3. Open the app on both devices
    4. On the iPhone, tap "Send" and select "Contacts"
    5. Mark the contacts that you want to share with the Ace Style
    6. Tap "Send"
    7. Lastly, select a method of contact transfer. You can tap "Generate QR Code" on the iPhone, and scan the code with the Ace Style's camera to commence the transfer. Alternatively, you can tap "Receive" on the Samsung device, and enter the transfer code that has been generated on the iPhone
