Ask HN: What Apple alternatives are you switching to?
To be honest... None.<p>It&#x27;s a choice. You might wholly disagree, but recent events aren&#x27;t enough to get me to switch yet, because I think the competition has too many tradeoffs.<p>I can get my photos scanned against a CSAM database... or I can have Google tracking my location constantly regardless of what they say (as they&#x27;ve been proven to be misleading in the past)... or I can use a Linux phone and say goodbye to battery life and useful apps I need. I&#x27;ll pick CSAM Scanning over my Location data being in the hands of Google, sorry.<p>And as for my laptop, macOS doesn&#x27;t scan, and the M1 is too impressive and has me spoiled. And I have too many horror stories with both Linux and Windows and can&#x27;t stand either of them. (Don&#x27;t tell me switch to Linux - I&#x27;ve tried over a dozen distributions over the last decade. It&#x27;s just not there yet.)
