Me too. I have ~20 members of my immediate and extended family that are iOS users. Since 2009, I've evangelized Apple devices to them, but if Apple pushes this through, I'm done. I'll find either a de-Google Android or feature phone to use and start encouraging them move off of iOS.

Remember Mac became cool 15 - 20 or so years ago?

I'm at least old enough to remember it and I have a very strong feeling that the same is happening these days with Linux on the desktop.

Also on phones the alternatives are shaping up nicely so do talk well about them, don't say people should swith now but say you are considering a switch next time you upgrade etc.

Dang I hope Linux is getting cool :D Recent releases of things like Gnome and ElementaryOS are pretty close to mainstream-ready IMO, so will be interesting to see things play out over the next few years.

This is excellent advice, thank you!
