Biggest problem with iOS

[Armen]

Wrong, the iPhone 2g,3g,3gs, and 4 were 600$ and in 2011 the 4s and on are 650$

Also newer phones have new features, this is a new feature.

Yes it supported the 3gs and 4, big whoop, it gets people to upgrade again to newer devices and then pay for it there.

How is your argument valid when all the older iDevices got iCloud storage for FREE when it debuted?

You want more space

Here you go.

It's not free, that 5 gigs is included in your device purchase price, so when you have 3 devices you are getting ripped off since you don't get 15 gigs.

If you sign up for iCloud (assuming you even can) without a device do you still get 5 GB?

Not all iOS devices got it, a few did, regardless, like i said, the ones who did get it will be more likely to upgrade to a newer device due to it and then pay apple for it. And look at the upgrade options, 40$ for 20 gigs, So all those new buyers who payed 50$ more than previous phones for 5 gigs subsidized everyone else until they upgrade.

Im' not sure if you can, tho if they can it wouldn't really matter since they don't have a device to actually use apples storage for anyway.

Would you breakdown your iCloud data usage by going to manage storage on your devices and list what is taking up so much space? My combined backups for 2 devices is 200MB.

where is Messages and Mail? I don't see it in the screenshot.

P.S. what the heck Google Chrome storing that's 97MB? it's just a browser.

Cache?

Cache?

I would hope not. That's kind of stupid for Chrome to store its cache as a backup.

True. Perhaps something for offline viewing, or maybe even some documents that were viewed/downloaded in Chrome.

Could be something like that. I've just never seen a browser use up 100MB of document data space. Found it odd.

It wasn't listed at all when I checked it. As for chrome, I don't know.
