Long time Apple user of over 2 decades, 10s of thousands spent.

Between always-listening Apple Watch, the upcoming cameras of Airpods Pro, Siri AI forced on us for functionality that doesn't require it, ads, them not giving a damn for obvious easy fixable issues like App Store search, and other shit like not adding step counter complication to older Watch models, I'm seriously considering not moving to Android/Windows, but giving up parts of the "smart" ecosystem altogether. Fucking expanding of ads are the last nail on the coffin. Even the few they snuck in were more than enough, the correct number of ads in an OS or app that's not a browser should be zero.

Started going to smaller brand earpods (maybe will even go back to wired except for gym), started to leave my Apple Watch at home also except for gym, and even for that will just go get a fitness band, and not buy any new Apple Watch models, and am seriously considering one of the "minimal" phones or even a dumb phone.
