I pay for the highest tier of iCloud storage. I used to be on the 200GB plan but my Photos library got too large. I wish Apple offered another 1-2 tiers in between so I didn’t have to leap from $3/month to $10/month, but I ended up just turning on document/desktop sync, and sharing the extra storage with family members so they don’t have to pay for storage anymore. I do wish I got more perks from Apple for being a subscriber. You see Amazon Prime throw all these nice perks at their subscribers...I wish Apple sweetened the pot a little more. That said, having my full rez photos automatically backed up and stored in iCloud Photo Library, where they’re safe, not harvested for data, and accessible from all my Apple devices, is an invaluable service and makes it all worth it. Can’t remember when you took that vacation? Want to call up photos of a specific person, time, or place? Just ask Siri and they appear in seconds. Awesome.

Edit: does anyone think it’s strange that Google is naming their storage offering so similarly to Microsoft’s OneDrive? Is it a simple lack of creativity, or are they just aiming to confuse users into using their cloud storage instead?

Re tip #2, you can add the shortcut as a home screen button if you use the Workflow app. From inside your workflow, just tap the gear and then the “add to home screen” link. In this case, tapping that newly created button on your home screen will auto-launch the Workflow app, then switch to Safari, and then finally the Notes app, so it feels a little clunky, but it gets the job done.

I’m all for Apple holding off on releasing a product/feature until it works the way it should, but they HAVE GOT to get out of the bad habit of announcing products/features and then delaying them ad nauseum. It makes them look sloppy, not to mention it makes the initial announcement smell like vaporware. 

So a total luddite, who doesn’t own a single Apple product, thinks himself uniquely qualified to instruct the most valuable tech company on earth where to spend its cash? What an arrogant putz. Get a life, Ralph!

Yes, the High Sierra version for unsupported Macs is smooth on my upgraded 2008 unibody. I’ve had no problems running it, and the experience sure beats being stuck on El Capitan.
