I have to retreat my statement then a little bit, in that it's easy to get your data out of Apple, with the exception of Linux. But Linux is usually the exception for any kind of user convenience stuff, and Linux users know what they're getting themselves into.

The point is, that since Apple is providing dedicated tools both for Mac and for Windows to get your photos off your phone, I don't think it's fair to accuse them of trying to lock in people to their devices.

Same with other stuff like bookmarks, passwords, etc.
