Which creates a negative user experience. I hate that Apple does thatOh it gets you something. It gets you nonstop notifications on your Mac that your iCloud storage is full from iMessage chatlogs and constantly pressures you to subscribe.
totally agree, the lack iCloud storage packages is extremely poor compared to other options availableThey could at least offer decent tiers. No 1TB tier is poor
And that’s how competition works. If enough people think and act like you do, Apple will change course to respond.Apple lock in is going to bite them. It works until it doesn't.
I replaced my mac with windows laptop because I wanted 32GB RAM for normal money.
Then I couldn't figure out how to send a file from iPhone to PC... so... I dumped iPhone and went to Samsung. Setting up Android was 2 days of pain, but now I think it is better than iOS (Google Assistant, torrent, proper full fat firefox, full windows integration) and it plays nice with cheap OneDrive storage.
I kept iCloud for backup for the kids' phones, but that's going now.
I'm left with a HomePod and an ancient ipad to control it. But as the HomePod won't work with Windows or Android it's just a matter of time...
