Wanting to move back to IOS, I found myself unable to succeed in whole with any of the available tools. I read a few reviews of top apps, and made an attempt with X-Transfer (available on both IOS and Android) but the app crashed upon scanning SMS. So quickly in fact that I could not even provide the developer feedback within the app.
I tried Move to IOS but it wouldn't transfer photos, I tried without photos and it worked, but it was missing my text messages. My call log did transfer, but at this point I am unable to reproduce it.
I elected to use another Android phone as a go-between. I set the backup to exclude Photos and it quickly completed. I restored the backup to the go-between and it synchronized both SMS/MMS and the call log.
I tried Move to IOS, and it completed everything including SMS/MMS, but without ever transferring my call log. I repeated a transfer with X-Transfer, but it failed to allow me to target my call log - the call log was greyed out. I tried a different tool, but likewise, it would not import to the IOS 13.5 call log.
I finally decided to connect adb to the go-between and manually fish out the call logs.
I found them as an SQLite DB under /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/calllog.db.
The date for each call appears to be epoch-time format but needs to be divided by 1000 to be consumed by the Linux date command.
