    Is there not sync software that comes with the handset? When I changed handset there was some software to transfer the contacts, was easy , it even transferred the photo tags too.

    You need the app call Easy Phone Sync.
    You would be able to get your contacts, messages, photos, videos, music, podcasts and playlists from the iPhone via iTunes and transfer them to the S3.

    In addition to the Android app, you would also have to download a PC or Mac software and install it on your computer in order to sync iTunes with the Galaxy S3.

    For now I think it is UK only.

    Google Play Link:

    The software is often on the SD card that comes with the handset.
