    Not really, just don’t trap yourself into their ecosystems. Use 3rd party services that work on all of them so you’re not trapped on either. I used iPhone for several years and because of using 3rd party cloud and mail services as well as password managers and browsers, I was able to switch back to Android without any hassle. And since I don’t use or rely on anything from Google either, I can go back to Apple this moment if I want and only hassle would be just setting up all the services. Which would take me like an hour for all of it.

    Same goes for desktops. I run Windows on one of my systems because of gaming and the rest run Linux because fuck you Microsoft with your asshole arbitrary hardware requirements.I still have bookmarks and files synced between them thanks to 3rd party services that work on all of them.

    Sure I don’t have a magic single button to log me into everything, but then again I’m also not a slave of anyone because I don’t depend on a single entity providing me all the services. Password managers save me that hassle so it’s basically the same, but ultimately better.
