I’m a business-hours Windows user who drifted into Apple for all my personal devices, aside from a Windows box for amateur radio stuff, and an ever-changing fleet of Linux VMs at Hetzner.
It’s about time for a new phone, but the selection of suitable (that is, small) Android devices is dire, and I don’t think I want to get sucked further into Google’s ecosystem, either.
So I’ll buy myself what might be one last iPhone 13 mini, and start copying my iCloud photo collection off onto my still-capable 2013 MacBook Pro, and then my NAS, a month at a time.
That should give me a couple years to figure out what comes next.
