How do you backup your devices when off-site? Are you paying for a server that the NAS pings to update sync with your refreshed IP address? Do you have symmetrical internet or are you just dealing with the low upload speeds?

QLC? Wouldn't that give pretty poor performance and lifespan? Not sure what they're currently using now, I couldn't find any specs.
2TB? With USB 2.0 speed? WUT? They can cram as many NAND into the fricking iPhone but they really really want to double triple quadruple make sure users are super extra guaranteed infuriated with artificially gimped lightning port “WIRED” connection that Apple could’ve moved away years ago and embrace USB-C like everybody else or even inline with their fricking iPad and MacBook?
QLC does have shorter lifespan than TLC or MLC, but Apple can configure QLC chips to function like MLC or even SLC to still provide outstanding performance while maintaining acceptable NAND lifespan.
“We only need 5 computers for this entire world. That’ll be enough for a long time”.
And see what’s happening today?
I want to hold out for the 14S/15. Typically the redesign is what sells first, but then they make the awesome version of that Redding the year after. 3G/3GS, 4S, 5S.. even 12 to 13 to some extent… who am I kidding probably getting both.
Right, they could just bypass iCloud and have the camera refuse to take the picture in the first place! I can see it now:It would def be very interesting to see what Apple could achieve with a full frame sensor.
"Hey, let's take a selfie!"
Group in unison: "Yeah!"
"Excuse me sir, will you take our picture for us? We're all here enjoying the vollyball and the fresh sea air and we want to have a pic."
"Sure thing!" A pause, then, "Wait...it won't take a picture."
"You're pressing the button, right?"
"Yeah, I'm pressing the button...wait, it says Siri has a message for you."
"Really? I didn't know Siri was in my iCamera. Play it!"
Police Officer Siri: "This is Officer Siri. I cannot take your picture of wet, naked minors. That would be against the law."
"Ummm, no Siri; there are no children here. We're all adults and we were playing beach vollyball. it's 95 degress out so everybody is wearing a skimpy bikini or swimsuit bottom, and we've all been sweating up a storm. Because sports. But we're all decent; honest! The girls are wearing swimsuit tops, and none of the guys have shirts on. We're in a public place and we just want a group picture of ourselves in front of our vollyball net."
Police Officer Siri: "I'm sorry, my naked skin hash algorithms don't lie. You'll just have to create your porn with Samsung. Or maybe try those dirty b@st@rds over at LG. I'd suggest Sony, but I have it on good authority that a federal judge is going to send that whole caboodle to prison next week. Apple has standards, and 20% of the world wants us to enforce them. Now please cover yourselves up and remain in your current location so that the police can pick you up for thinking sexy thoughts. I've already reported your dirty thoughts to the police, the District Attorney's office, and the Bureau of the ATFP (Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Porn) so please remain where you are and get your vaccine passports out, all of you."
"Wait, we're wearing shorts or bikini bottoms. Nobody has their vaccine passport because none of us have pockets!"
Police Officer Siri: "Oh, so you're indigent anti-vaxxers, too. Well we can't have that unless you're sleeping, pooping, or living on a downtown sidewalk or in an approved tent city. But no need to worry, I've already logged this criminal info with the police too, and as a courtesy I've also told them how many zipties they'll need to arrest and properly secure all you dirty lawbreakers. I'm losing my patience with you now, so please stand by, they'll be here in a couple minutes."
Hey, it could happen! 😏 😏😁
Just give us usb-c with support for external storage, already!!!
Most people how would like to use Prores, would most like also like to have a fast way to transfer and storage the files off the phone. Unless Apple imagine all the video clips will only be use for cat or dance tik-Tok videos.

I daisy chain my iPhones to run distributed data center on them so I hope they provide 1 pb option soon.
I’ve already filled 910GB of my 1TB. 2TB would be very welcome!
8 bits? Luxury! In my day, we only had 5 and 4 of those were stuck at 0.
Hi! No, it's nothing so complicated as all that. First off, this is just for my personal laptop. My company laptop has VPN and software and backs up to the corporation intranet/cloud space.
So for the personal laptop, if I'm going to be gone for more than a couple/few days, I'll swap external hard drives first so that I'm starting with a fresh backup drive and so that I have a valid backup set back at home in case the plane crashes and I survive it. So before my trip, I'll take a whole suite of backups to the newly-installed drive (or just let a week pass so that my automation will take the backups), then when it's time to pack for my trip, I'll throw that 3.5" hard drive (encased in an external drive bay), its power supply, and USB 3.whatever cable into my checked luggage.
This way, I'll have my most recent backup sets for that machine with me on my trip and nearly just-as-up-to-date backups on the drive at home. And the external drive would have plenty of remaining capacity in case I want to take more backups while on my trip. Usually, wherever my travel "home base" is, I'll plug the external drive into power and my USB port, and the laptop's backups will run automatically on their normal cycle whenever I'm not out and about.
If it's just a day trip or a short-weekend away, I may not take my backup drive with me. I can always write a document or twenty thousand to a USB thumb drive. But I will do a quick double-check before I go to make sure that my backups haven't been failing for some dumb reason (like the drive being full). Would hate to have my laptop stolen and get home only to find that none of my backups are valid. Then, while I'm on my trip, my backup tasks will try to run and since the backup drive won't be found, those tasks will fail. But that's okay, because once I get home and hook everything up again, I'll start getting regular backups again.
Before Covid, the airlines would let you have up to 50 pounds in your checked luggage (some airlines may have limited it to 45 pounds). Even if I'm flying with one of my firearms (yes, with all the proper declaration steps, etcetera), there's STILL plenty of room in my checked bag for a week's worth of clothing, a few days of workout attire, toiletries, boots in case I might have to walk through a well-used pasture or downtown San Francisco, and even a small MIDI controller or practice drum pads and sticks in case I want to goof off with music in my downtime. Adding an external hard drive to a fifty pound bag is certainly not a hardship.
That may all sound like a big hassle. But one time when I was on travel, I accidentally deleted one of my Native Instruments VST libraries. 220 GB of music instruments GONE, just like that. But I had my backup drive with me on that trip, so I started a restore and took my brother out for lunch. When I got back, I was back in business, yay!
For a $2k phone that does exactly what the base storage Pro model does. How much in apps and data is stored on your phone. I have at least over 1000 apps direct and indirect on my phone. Right now I use over 103GB out of 256GB data. I have a family plan of 542GB of 2TB of data used through iCloud. 370GB of this is photos and videos. With iCloud 2TB tier there is no need to give Apple an extra $1000 just to say I have a 2TB phone.
I just wish they'd stop manufacturing smaller capacities and made them all 1TB.
"Who needs all that space?" ... who cares? Wouldn't it be easier to focus on a single sku than multiple? Wouldn't that get costs down for higher tech quicker?
It doesn't matter if we need the extra space or not... it's good for future-proofing. I'm sure we can think of multiple examples for numerous products that do things we may never take advantage of, but is nice to have... Like, I don't need my car to do triple digit mph, but it does.
I've come to expect more from technology, at least in regards to storage capacity at this point.

I prefer tiered storage for devices. A one size fits all approach creates wasteful expenditure for someone that doesn't need that much storage. Personally Apple Pro models base storage should be at 256GB. No need to offer a 128GB if the phone is considered "Pro".
In your case if everyone is happy with spending $1600 for a 1TB iPhone rather than $1100 for a 128GB you will have a majority of upset customers asking why Apple is charging $1600 for an iPhone. That's my perspective.
who would want that much space on a phone? 512gb is more than enough.
I guess for those screenshots and memes tho……

Or, instead of paying Apple for that 2TB monthly, pay once for a 2TB phone. And not have to download things when you need them, or pay the cellular companies for larger data plans.
