Switch to an iPhone.

Apple's software and services (sync, drive, photo backup etc) are so inferior, especially compared with Google's (technically speaking), you'd be anyway forced to use third party (often cross platform) solutions. No risk of going deep into Apple's ecosystem ;-)

Having used both Google and Apple for notes, calendar, docs, cloud back up (general files) and photos I have come to believe Google has the better tech but Apple has the better product. It fascinates me how Google just can’t design a simple and intuitive UI for its products, which are by all means technically superior.

I'm a happy icloud photos user. Other sync is not so good, but icloud photos works fine.

Apple limits other apps from performing actual syncing without being in the foreground. That’s a lockin feature.

How many photos do you have in iCloud?

Yes, one of the reasons for "de-Googling" was to make it easier to switch to different devices if I want/need to. After moving everything out of Gmail/Google Drive/Calendar/Photos I can much easier switch to iOS. My current phone has many years of life in it, though, so I'm okay with sticking with it.

iCloud stuff is generally fine, except for iCloud Drive which is atrocious.
