Interesting read, your experience gave me some ideas to reduce dependency on Apple ecosystem. A few questions:

1. "Don't use safari" Why?

2. Is there an alternative to "Find My" that I can use with AirTag?

Some of the things, I have done since this experience:

- Exported all my passwords from Apple Password Manager to BitWarden. Also, now I better understand why my wife was keeping her passwords in a notebook (no service can be trusted).

- Looking at ways to export Contacts and Notes and sync.

- Keeping Dropbox storage subscription instead of considering migration to iCloud storage.

- Dropped the idea of upgrading my iPhone13 and wife's MacBook (light user) to Apple devices.
