  • Users can buy iCloud storage in addition to Apple One plans, for up to 4TB

    I use both iCloud and Dropbox.  I just don't feel that iCloud is on par with what Dropbox offers, particularly in the business arena.  Has anyone in a similar position made the jump to 100% iCloud?

    What prevents me from leaving Dropbox is:

    Sharing files to other users - even if not on dropbox.
    Recovering deleted files.
    Easy ability to flag files as online-only and ease of controlling that option.

    Any thoughts?

    Nope. iCloud is simply not set up for any kind of corporate or group setup. I wanted to use it for my neighborhood association digitization strategy, but it comes down to the fact that it has to be tied to a device & iCloud account. Too much of a p.i.t.a. what with switching “ownership” of the account in the future etc. to be a viable. And then sharing & interoperability with other platforms is a web of confusion. 

    I love iCloud for personal stuff though. Pretty much a non-starter for anything else.

    edit for additional thoughts.

  • Apple might soon offer 1TB iPhone storage option

    cornchipcornchip
    When? In a few months to the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max or not until next 2021 Fall’s iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max? I very much want to own a 1 TB iPhone. I have a two year old XS Max that’s 512GB with only 22GB left. But I can’t wait to order the 12 Pro Max based on a MAYBE SOON RUMOR!! Does soon mean a few months or a year from now?


    The tech giant company typically doubles iPhone's top end storage allocation every two years, meaning next year's "iPhone 13" could plausibly introduce a 1TB tier. 


    Also, “The tech giant company” LoL

  • Apple pulls buggy macOS Mojave Security Update, Safari 14

    Safari 14 has been a disaster in the past fortnight as far as the long-promised support by Apple of Google’s amazing .WEBP lossless image format that is finally making inroads against JPEG and PNG... with huge bandwidth savings on file sizes and being pushed heavily by Google for all websites trying to optimize for Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals performance analytics.

    Works fine for standard pictures and backgrounds but if the .webp pic has an alpha channel transparency on a Z layer, the Safari v14 browser just doesn’t have a clue, whilst Chrome, Firefox and the others merrily display whatever you throw at them. In general it’s loading websites far slower since v14 than its competitors.

    Thankfully I didn’t update my MacPro’s Mojave yet to have the other problems with the OS itself.

    I don’t trust google with a universal image format, but that’s just me  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

    I've had a gloriously smooth iOS 14 experience so far. The infuriating phone and text bugs which were persistent on my SE Classic from the Jan or Feb update of iOS 13 seem to have been eliminated. And I’m loving all the new features and details, especially the security ones. 

    However, I’m right there with you as far as updating the MacPro; thank God I’ve been procrastinating on that!

  • 'iPhone 12' may not ship with EarPods, power adapter to offset 5G costs

    A charging cable is really going to offset the cost of the 5G components? Seems a little far-fetched to me.
