With the new features in IOS 8 and some thing being removed and changed around, i wondered if all the photo's that are taken will automatically be stored in the cloud? and will this eat into the 5GB free iCloud account limit?

I'm personally planning on buying a 32GB iPhone 6, in order to keep all my photo's on my iPhone rather than having them use up my 5GB iCloud limit. At the moment i use photo stream, which if I'm correct does NOT eat into the 5GB iCloud storage limit. are Apple removing this from iOS 8?

Some nice features were announced at WWDC, time lapse was one of them. Are you impressed with IOS 8?

Currently it only stores the last 1,000 photos, to keep all your photos in iCloud then you will have to purchase more storage. Devs are being given 50GB of iCloud storage for the summer as they test out this feature

I am impressed with what has been show off so far

Yea i know about the 1000 limit on Photostream, but i have never reached that limit, i have around 300 photos. I was just hoping that i would be able to get away with storing photo's on my iPhone rather than paying for more iCloud storage.
 
Photostream is still there and you can just use it as before. 1000 photo limit and it doesn't count towards 5GB iCloud storage.
