L4sBotApple hit with class action lawsuit over iCloud's 5GB limit
macattackSometimes it’s hard to feel sorry for Apple users given the amount of abuse they go through yet make excuses for (as seen in the comments). Definitely shades of battered woman syndrome
NOT_RICKDoes android offer free storage for cloud backups?
itwasawednesdayDrive is 15 GB
So marginally better, thought so
3x as much is “marginally better.” What world do you Apple zealots live in?
15gb ain’t much either, and drive works on iOS to boot. So I guess earth?
The problem stated in the lawsuit is that you can’t use alternative backup providers on iOS, while you (presumably?) can on Android. Apple has no real competition in the device backup space, as they prevent third-parties from providing an equivalent service. (Notice the word equivalent - iTunes backups don’t count.)
I say this as someone who prefers iCloud for its encryption features.
That’s reasonable. I think iOS/iPadOS overall are in dire need of being more open. iPad especially since they’re at the point where they could largely replace laptops but are hamstrung by being so locked down. I still think it’s obnoxious to compare people with different opinions to domestic abuse victims
