Did I mention android
No, I did. My point wasn't an Android vs iOS debate. It was simply an example that sometimes customers don't understand all the issues involved in creating a "simple" feature.
Got a tip for us?

nah you said:
Also, photo attachments or any attachment shouldn't be super complicated considering we have had it in the jb scene for a while for apple to just 'implement it' like most of the 'new' software features.

Photo attachments aren't the OPs issue (I hope) as we've had that ability for a couple years now. I believe the OP means files other than photos from within the iCloud Drive.
Its the same, again jb has any attachment for a while, we are speaking of attaching directly from the mail app, not even w photos is this currently possible. I have added it to my prev post so you can be happy I 'covered' all bases
Or maybe Apple really was just lazy, or fell for their own ******** and didn't prioritise it.
Like an awful lot of things in iOS.
It's not even like the copy and paste implementation is especially good (and has been completely neglected ever since).
hmmm ... so this description from Macworld is a fallacy?
"Wait, waitiCloud Drive? Does iOS 8 finally get a file system?
Another feature that will span multiple devices, iCloud Drive is a central storage locker for your documents and projects from various apps on both iOS and OS X. You can find out more about it in our iCloud FAQ.
But to answer your question, yes, it does mean that iOS 8 will have access to files and not just from within the apps that created them. The Document Pickeras Apple has dubbed the new interfacelooks a lot like a traditional Open dialog box on the Mac, right down to the search field and (from what weve seen) the ability to toggle between icon and list views. While files will be grouped by the application that created them in by default, Apple says youll also be able to create your own folders and organize your documents any way that you see fit. In OS X and Windows (yep, we said Windows), youll be able to simply drag files into the iCloud folder to sync them between your devices, à la Dropbox."

My point was that it currently is possible to attach photos and videos directly from the mail app.

I have no idea what distinction you are trying to make.
Like I said, some customers don't understand all the issues involved. For example, by enabling features like that on a jb device, you are bypassing iOS security.

No, it's not the same. iOS 7 allows you to insert photos or video from within the mail app.
Why so paranoid, facts are Apple has everyone's ID, plus credit cards linked to iTunes, and as recently revealed, very weak security.
Then there's big data that has more info on individuals than any Smartphone collects. Welcome to 2014
If you're a Gmail user you can use the gmail app on iOS as well. It supports the same file as the android version (add photo, file from Drive etc)

The weak security is by the individual user and not iCloud. The security question answers used by the celebrities was public knowledge.
You're guessing and assuming. A few articles last week that spread all over the web addressed a security failure in IOS, which had nothing to do with the celebrity situation. The bottom line is any mobile OS is vulnerable, no matter how much denial Apple practices.
