sounds stupid. why is it even possible to purchase more space in the cloud than you available on your device then?

>>60397147
Users would otherwise get confused when they delete a sensitive photo from their device and then find it's still available

>>60397180
Some users have more than one device. And iCloud can also be used with Macs where it can be used in a more flexible way.

>Pays a monthly subscription to own 50GB cloud storage
>Can literally buy a 64GB flash drive for $5
Holy kek

>>60397312
No, you can't.

Last time I bought 64 GB SD cards they were $22 a pop. Right now the cheapest one is $32.

What the f...? SD cards used to go down in price and up in capacity.

Regardless, I get the usability of this cloud storage. I have to copy pictures off my phone when I'm home (just use Ghost Commander to Samba, it's exactly a huge amount of work). My sister has botnet cloud storage so when she turns on her computer the pictures are all there in a cloud folder. It seems convenient.

he said flash drive, not SD card. prices are different

please answer all these questions and issues, you fuck.

You're not paying 99 cents a month for the fucking 50GB alone. You're paying 99 cents a month for the iCloud services that are offered to you.

>>60397275
Then why don't they just let us decide whether we want to keep the data on the cloud each time we delete a file? Don't you see that's just moronic?

>>60397312
Where the fuck are these $5 64GB flashdrives? Everything I see is $15-30. Although your point still stands, physical storage is far cheaper than cloud storage

Solution: Don't use an iShit, use an actually good device with expandable storage, and create a home server to use for cloud storage, forwarding ports for access away from home.

AKA don't be tech-illiterate.

Flash storage prices is effected by things like natural disasters and political turmoil

There was a flood that hit Thailand a few years ago and the price of RAM went up by 50% overnight

This is all ignoring the obvious: it's cheaper to build your own server and put it in your attic.

Just stop for a minute and ask yourself, would a retard to this thing? And if the answer is yes, do not do that thing.

This process would have saved you from buying an iPhone.

You're already carrying dongles m8

>>60397312
i only use icloud to store the iphone backups
also is 0.99$ per month so its like fuck it whatever

>>60397749
t. Someone who's never used an iOS device before.

If you seriously believe that the savings from buying a USB flash drive outweighs the convenience of $12 a year, you either have way too much time on your hands or retarded. I also trust Apple to keep my data safe & deterministic as compared to some shitbox $5 special that'll crap the bed in under a year.

lmao

>>60398343
I don't want something extra I need to carry around

Like I said, I don't give a fuck about the cost because the convenience of not having to carry things around or fumble with a fucking USB drive for my phone

iCloud is far more integrated within the phone than a fucking USB drive mount

Fair point, but those USB drives fucking fail all the time for no reason. I've got 5 on me at all times that I keep around in a drawer for OS installs and they never fucking work when I need them to.

"Lifetime" as in a few years. Also that means having to fucking return the stupid thing and argue with the company that their product is shit.

I guess your time is less valuable than mine.
