Yeah. Same. It's not an easy process.

I know for sure that my Apple Watch will be the first to go since they've handicapped the OS and I'll never upgrade from OS 9. My Apple TV is one of my most used devices but it's very likely that I get rid of that along with my TV within the next five years (despite having well over 1,000 movies on my Plex server). iPad might be the next on the list in favor of just a Mac mini and iPhone.

Although, my ideal end-game (what I DREAM about), is just an Apple Watch and iPad. It doesn't seem like Apple's interested in making that a thing though. And, even if they did, I no longer trust them to make it "just work". Oh, how I'd love to abandon iPhone. The 12 Mini I have is about the right size but the camera bump is still ridiculous. I just might switch to a dumb phone if Apple refuses to offer reasonably sized, slim, camera-bumpless phones.

I'm approaching middle middle-age soon. I've invested so much of my life (and money) in tech, I think it's time to step back and enjoy the disconnected life I should have had as a young adult. There's no reward. There's no freedom. No simplicity. I do worry if it's even possible though.
