With iOS 8, Apple entices 'Android switchers'

Apple is ramping up competition for the hearts and wallets of consumers with slick new software and services including a new mobile operating system that will be available this fall.

The announcements were made at Apple's developer conference in San Francisco, an annual event that is playing an increasingly important role in the company's bid to stanch global market share losses to Google's Android operating system.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said 130 million customers bought an iOS device for the first time in the past 12 months, many of them switching from Android.

In a jab at Android, he said they were seeking a better experience and a better life and had bought Android "by mistake."
