YouTube -> Vimeo? Not really a competitor, though. I’d stick with YouTube
G-Mail -> There are thousands of alternatives: Outlook, iCloud, Yandex, Yahoo...
Mobile (Android) -> iOS is probably the only real alternative here
Photos -> If you have an Apple device you have iCloud photos
Notes -> Evernote or Notion, depends on the complexity you’re looking for
Drive -> OneDrive or iCloud
Maps -> I don’t think there’s any real competitor to Google Maps
Google Pay -> Apple Pay or Samsung Pay if you stick with Android
The important thing is to find an alternative to your usage of the tool, not to the complete tool i think :)
For example if you don't use the sharing capabilities of Google Calendar you don't need an "alternative", you just need a calendar app (Nextcloud is good to sync it) :D
In the same manner if you just need a map (on a website for example) OSM does a good job.
Thinking about this matter this way helped me a lot to find real new tools that fit my needs :)
That's true, however Apple said that: “The encrypted chunks of the file are stored, without any user-identifying information, using third-party storage services, such as [Amazon] S3 and Google Cloud Platform.”
So I mean yeah, you're going to be using a service provided by Google, but the main complaint about their services is privacy, which in this case does not apply.

AFAIK iCloud is on top of Google Cloud Platform so you wouldn't be really avoiding Google.
