Interesting find on the fine print, although I think it's safe to say a huge majority of users don't have above 16MP pictures or 2k/4k video on their phones. And if they do, they still get 15 GB free which is awesome.
Still, this is awesome as it hopefully pressures Apple to do something similar.
No, Facebook can't. They are restricted in how they can use them based on your privacy settings. However, they can use your public photos however they want.
Did anyone count how many times iOS was mentioned? I lost track 
Will remember to count references to Android in the WWDC keynote..

Thank you google for the photo storage. It just makes sense. I'm in major disagreement with Apples new system of pushing everything to iCloud Drive and then making you pay to upgrade the space. I think this is a very anti apple business model as it stops people from using the devices to full potential, and as advertised.
Hopefully Apple has an answer to this.

Wait, wasn't Picasa around before either of the images in question? How dare you prove that Apple wasn't ripped off.
And this is while all these sounds exciting, it will only be available to the 10 or so flagship phones - the majority of users won't see any of these features of M or even 5.0, 5.1 (40% are using 4.4)

You going or just a cheerleader?Will remember to count references to Android in the WWDC keynote..
The only necessary comment, is that you've simply shown that you have apparently never seen a wall of customer icons in a corporate presentation before.
For instance, from a 2011 article about Google Wallet, more than three years before Apple Pay came out:
If I had a dollar for every vendor pitch I've seen with an ocean of partner logos that looked just like both of those... it would buy an Edition watch.
Apple is borrowing a very old cliche just as much as Google.
[edit: kdarling beat me to it]
And Apple and it's BUSINESS PARTNERS don't do any of this...
It amazes me that people think Apple is this white fluffy bunny of a business that will protect its consumers privacy and data.
Exactly. No need to buy android. Just use the service if you do not mind data collection off your info.

Yes, and google owns Picasa. My guess is google photos will replace it.
Apple has over $150 Billion in reserves. To say they charge for storage because they don't make money selling ads is reaching pretty hard. It would be far more believable if Apple simply said "We charge because we can." If they said something as crazy as "We charge for storage because we don't sell ads", who would actually believe that? Currently we don't know why Apple charges so much. I feel pretty darn confident it ain't the reason you gave.
Apple does the same thing. They tell you so in the privacy policy. Thing is, there's nothing wrong with it. Both companies give you options to opt out. Both companies will still sell the ad space. The ads just won't be targeted.
lol i am sure he was talking about the actual partners of each. useful vs crap vendors basically
Won't be able to make it to WWDC, no. So if the other option is cheerleader then yes I'll be watching the live stream for that also
They are also limited by the law... No user agreement is above the law...
For instance, it's unlawful to use my photos without citing my name as an author, no agreement can make that legal... Likewise, it's illegal to use my photos in context that were not explicitly enumerated in the licence agreement.
So far, Facebook has not be bothered because they have so far not used photos however they wanted and because US laws are pretty weak when it comes to defend authors. But if they did, they would be opened to lawsuits outside the US (or an European investigation)...

That's why the best platform for google products its IOS.
