    Maybe Apple is planning to offer compelling iCloud services:
    • social for consumers
    • collaboration for prosumers and enterprise
    made posible by hardware/software on the new iPhones and the new iPads.

    Only because this article mentioned this targeting photographers: as an avid, semi-pro iPhonographer and professional photo editor, I think it's worth mentioning that - without exception - every pro- or "avid" amateur photographer I know (I know hundreds) finds iCloud services completely unsatisfactory and avoids Apple's Photos desktop and cloud apps at all costs.  For "avid" amateurs the ease of Google Photos and/or the free 1TB of storage on Flickr are much more user-friendly in nearly every respect. I really don't get why Apple can't figure out an appealing and price-competitive cloud experience. It doesn't bode well for the future, and I've been an "avid" 100% Mac & iOS user my whole life. 
    Yep. I largely avoid iCloud in favor of Google Photos, Google Drive and other solutions over Apple. Their online storage game is weak and I cannot understand why this continues to be the case. Is it just "form over function"?

    Are your photos and data encrypted on the Google or other services?  If not, are you concerned that Google, other service owners or hackers could misuse your data?

    Interesting that Mail is not at all encrypted on their servers - why?

    5 gz free is greedy for Apple as Microsoft and Apple already offer 15 Gz free with good quality cloud.
