so a couple "desert island" albums i haven't changed since i got the phone and My Amazing iPhoneography

the camera is a big reason why i got the 5S (the others being retina and speed), and not thinking about deleting photos and videos is why i got the largest option available at the time

in some number of years i'll do the same again

i dont have my iphone photos sync with icloud since im only on the free tier. are photos free? are uploads recompressed in any way? what about video? in any case why would i want my sole copy of a photo to be on someone else's server?

i used to have the paid icloud 20gb tier but it turned out i didnt need it with dropbox's free 20gb, google's free 15gb, icloud's free 5gb, and my personal and professional storage

apple's board needs to wise up and kick tim and johnny ives to the curb and get things back on the straight and narrow

pare back the phone skus to two (same model, two different colors, at a sensible size), crash the ipad maxi and the ipad mini and salvage the brand, and issue a deeply remorseful mea culpa for the iwatch and move on

I would guess the iPhone antenna is small so the cashier side needs a larger target area for link up to hit without waving the device around and around.

yeah, basically i want a way to transfer money phone-to-phone at about 0.1% in fees which apple pay isn't really geared to do since it's so pro-bank/CC company, unlike Current C

it uploads full resolution, the on phone photots get automatically compressed based on the sapce availabel on ur phone and will make themselves smaller if u need space. if u have a mac as well like a normal person the pohotos then get synced to it as well at full resolution so u have a hard copy still. ium sorry the fututrue is so scary 4 u

not sure but I don't think so. that might be a per-tab thing. it was happening to me the other day so I closed the tab and made a new one with the same url and it stopped doing the whitespace thing
