1. So, first in the computer’s web browser, go to  www.icloud.com
2. Log in into the website using the Apple ID and password.
3. Click on contacts. Then in the bottom left corner of the browser’s window, click on settings (the gear icon).
4.  Click on “Export vCard” option.
This vCard file consists of the contacts of the iPhone.
The computer will ask where to save the vCard file. select appropriate location in the computer that is easy to remember. Because, this file is needed to copy the contacts into the Android phone.
5. Now, head on to www.gmail.com in the web browser. In the top left side of the screen, “Gmail” with a drop down arrow will be present . Click on that arrow and in the drop down that appears, select “Contacts” (refer the picture given).
