From one who used iPhone and loved it for years and who still thinks it is an awesome device and who understands your standpoint, I say: you should have both. Because using your brains to make things work with these devices is something unique. There is the burden, there are goals, successes and fails, but the most important thing is the community. I doubt you can have it elsewhere. I was only for summer wirhout hassling with my N900 and used android instead and it was easy but made me feel stupid. After using N900 again for couple of minutes I felt alive again inside my head.

I would advice to step aside from the frontline but not to say goodbye. Unless of course you find morally hard to continue being a member of this community for some reason.
