Either put up with them bugs or pay up!

That's exactly what you buy when paying up for icloud storage...12 Gigs of "data" that can only be used to move your entire system image to yet another overpriced Apple device. But make any attempt to extract your 10 years of text messages or any other apps or files, then you need to keep buying software and storage or you lose it to their "non bug" policy you gotta pay and pay again to get your data off the walled prison garden of "paradise lost".

Comment 3 lens cell phone is easy (Score 1) 21

A fancy 3 eyed iPhone or Android gets even better results for amateurs than a full frame Nikon or Canon (for the money). The Apple/Google/Samsung "special sauce" software with 3 eye HDR multiple exposure on the fly simply does a better job than one frame exposure. Frankly, after the complex mechanics of DSLR manufacture are no longer on demand, I'm astonished at how much they continue to charge for these new mirror-less full framed point and shoot status symbols. Particularly since the just can't beat the spectacular results of high end cell phones, particularly in the hands of ordinary people. Its a camera, online backup and publish and distribution with correct metadata and perfect exposure and image stabilization in terrible uneven lighting situation. For most people, the overpriced camera habit is no longer necessary unless you just like high end toys and stuff to buy with all of that extra cash you have lying around. A $1200 iPhone ain't cheap but the camera rigs are 10x the price. Less cost than a car but more than a vacation.
