I have been using the iPhone for something like 10 years now. I am getting the urge to de-apple since I fell down the slippery slope and now have an iPad, watch, apple TV, MBP, etc.

Exercising less dependence on a single company for everything seems like a good thing, but I'm struggling to really ground that principle against the convenience of just buying "what works." Does it really matter at the end of the day?

I assume all the companies have zero respect for any of their users now. At least Apple can maintain a tablet and laptop line for more than a few years without the urge to restart it with "brand new ideas".
