"They’ve lost my trust and that’s that."

Same here. There's a finality to this, closure.

I'm done reading about it, nothing more I need to say about Apple. I just purchased a System76 laptop and am ditching my MBP. I've been a Mac Addict for 20 years and now I've outgrown Apple. Privacy is a human right.

What I'm wondering now is "how do I replace my iPhone, AirPods, and iPad?"

Ask HN: Do you use Purism, PinePhone, or Fairphone? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28216287

Me too. Not a huge Mac user, but I use my iPad and AirPods a lot.

I haven't tried them, though the Sony ear buds look like a great option to AirPods: https://www.sony.com/lr/electronics/truly-wireless/wf-1000xm...

As far as the tablet goes... I dunno. I haven't tried an android tablet and I'm not too keen on it. Maybe a Surface? The iPad is damn good at what it does...

The biggest convenient of AirPods for me is how damn easy they connect and disconnect. Wonder if there's a way to support that on other devices and platforms. It's a dream.

And yeah, iPad...

Pinephone has options: https://pine64.com/product-category/tablets/
