Just don’t like the handset itself. I might try getting the 8 pro when they come down in price. I think I’ll be ok leaving Apple, pretty much stopped using Google and Apple apps over the last few years and stopped using iCloud. I’ve mainly switched to using proton. Last thing was to move from iOS to something like grapheneos, which has great control and does everything I need. I’d suggest slowly moving away from Apple ecosystem one thing at a time.
So far I’ve avoided being too dependent on things like iCloud. I have like 50gb to maintain contacts/messages/etc. the lowest plan possible. No photos or other media. I am on macOS still because I work in film and while I have been making the move to Linux, it’s hard to move my entire work life over
I’ve just started using Linux as well, to hopefully get away from windows in the future. I figure each small step away from Apple, Google etc is a step in the right direction. Good luck
I am also on a 13 pro max and have been going back-and-forth about leaving the Apple ecosystem. So you don’t really like the pixel so far?
