i don't understand why people keep complaining phone storage not enough. dO YoU GuYs NoT hAve ClOuD SToRaGe?

i keep all my shit on my shitty 2021 128gb iphone with 2TB family icloud subscription (USD9.99 a month). every photo gets uploaded immediately. I never run of of space despite having thousands of full res videos.

and I never worry about losing my phone. if I did lose it, a restored iphone with all my data is in my hand within 2 hours.

ok... i will try to remember this. tq

ok sheep

ok noted

That’s 50 ringgit every month, means 600 ringgit per year subscription.
I would think it is expensive.

i don't even need to, i wrote my own app and host it and free cloud storage upload back to my server. anytime also can restore. 8tb is dirt cheap to buy this days

i share with 3 family members. the alternative to insufficient memory is buying a large phone but it's not safe (lose your phone, lose your data) and also cumbersome to backup every day.

not wise also.. if you have kids and take videos everyday, 1TB phone also not enough. cloud storage basically unlimited.

Yeah, paid for one drive, but how to setup

congrats you genius. but most people value convenience. once i realize how convenient it is to use airpods (like pop up case, immediately gets connected via bluetooth), i never look at other brands anymore, despite having a cheaper price tag or better sound quality. the smooth user experience cannot be replaced. you gonna write a custom app and back up manually every day? not for me.

Epal: tq for your data

Even with 200GB iCloud and 1TB OneDrive I still need a 256gb phone at least. For my offline music and videos.

change to iphone and all your problems go away.

Protip: don't use iPhone

havent u heard of scripts?

3.90 a month for 50gb. The cheapest storage that Apple sells.
My ipong is 128gb and it is not even half filled after almost 2 years.

Does Apple monetize user data? Genuine question. Or what are you worried about?

They can just use it internally no?

Buy the cloud storage and you are on their mercy,they can increase price and you are virtually stuck with them.
And how confident are you that the storage content won’t be compromised?
Later your nude photo leak out. Hahaha

Been there done that.
Living worry free since upgraded to 2tb.
Some more can share with few people.

you speak like everyone knows how to write a custom app. i don't ever want to deal with the hassles like making sure it's working over time (despite ios updates), granting permission and maintenance of my own data storage. how sure are you that your back up file will work? and how optimized is the compression? apple spends billions on research and engineering. i'd gladly pay $10 a month for a solution that works.
