I certainly lose sight of the idea of spotty cellular service. Can’t remember the last time I had that issue. However I think the bigger issue is people feeling the need to have all their photos and videos on the phone. I see no issue with people downloading music and podcasts to their devices if their coverage is spotty.
Well I don’t like it either. But I didn’t post about what I wish Apple would do, rather what I think they actually will do.It doesn’t mean you can’t voice your frustration or change buying preferences though. Apples higher costs are the reason I got fed up and bought last years devices the last two upgrades. I didn’t lose out that way. It might yet be a situation where the cost of an iPhone 12 is too close to the cost of an 11 Pro and the latter becomes more appealing. One less sale for the latest device
No point getting in me getting upset over it as there are always options.
It’s just less convenient I suppose because you’ve got to consciously make sure you’ve downloaded the content rather just having it to hand. Also when someone is taking long videos and trying to edit on the go then cloud storage can be awkward with a poor signal. I have iCloud storage and all my photos are stored on it but many times I’ve gone to show someone a picture and it’s just failed to load due to poor signal strength. It’s only as good as your carrier really.
I didn’t remotely say what you interpreted. Read more carefully next time.
Finally gonna get a 1tb pro Max! I’m excited.
Rumors suggest Apple's iPhone 12 launch event will be held on October 13, with the more affordable 5.4 and 6.1-inch devices set to ship out ahead of the more expensive 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch Pro devices, and this morning hit-and-miss leaker Jon Prosser has further committed to that date by providing alleged details on Apple's first shipment of finalized iPhone 12 units.
Prosser claims the initial shipment of iPhone 12 units will go out to distributors on October 5 in advance of the launch event, and this will include the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 "mini" – which he says is "definitely the final marketing name" – and the lower end 6.1-inch iPhone 12 model. Prosser asserts that the two higher-end Pro models will be announced at the same event but will ship later in November.
Prosser also claims that the more affordable models will come in 64, 128, and 256GB storage capacities, which conflicts with a claim he made in May that Apple's iPhone 12 lineup will start with 128GB of storage. Prosser's explanation for the earlier misinformation is that it was given "well before even the [production validation test] iPhone 12 units had started," and in fact it is only the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max that will start at 128GB.
By changing his claims about storage capacities, Prosser has aligned himself with proven leaker L0vetodream, who said as early as May that the more affordable 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch devices will start with 64GB while the Pro devices will start with 128GB.
Prosser is a leaker with a mixed track record when it comes to Apple's plans. In August 2020, he claimed new Apple Watch and iPad models would be introduced via press releases. In September 2020, Prosser even narrowed down the day of these press releases to Tuesday, September 8, but no products were announced that day. Instead, Apple sent out invites to its "Time Flies" event, where it did introduce new Apple Watch and iPad models a week later.
Earlier this month, however, Prosser was accurate when he said an eighth-generation iPad and a lower-priced Apple Watch model would be unveiled at Apple's "Time Flies" event, but no new iPhones or AirPods Studio headphones.

That’s what people said when base storage was 16GB. Apple does this for the upsell. The company loves the upsell.
It's not only media and sometimes it can't be avoided. Especially when you are concerned about privacy and personal property of digital goods (recommended read on that: "The End of Ownership: Personal Property in the Digital Economy"). Not everyone is using another ones PC (aka. cloud) to store their data.
They didn’t say only one location, just not on their iPhone. For all you know, it’s also sitting on a Mac at home.
Apple's memory chips are better, apparently.
How about me? I have over 80 gb music and no intention of ever subscribing to a streaming service. What I want to point out is that not everybody is like YOU (or me). I wish people will stop treating others like idiots, with stupid generalisations. Yes I bloody well know there is something called iCloud storage but it does not solve my problem now. Does it?
Panic over. They will come in larger storage capacities if that what you need. 😴
