Agreed. iCloud's antics keep forcing me to seriously consider android.
Their refusal to give you FS or cache access is similarly infuriating; I stopped using my old 16GB purely because I couldn't selectively control what was stored on the phone and iCloud photos was too dumb to control its cache. I would have gigabytes of old photos downloaded to my phone until it was so full that apps would regularly crash! I had to regularly toggle iCloud photo storage and basically just wait until my iPhone had locally cached enough of my library that it was full and broken again... And, of couree because Apple thinks their software "just works" or whatever, I couldn't just hit a "clear cache" button or manually rm files from the cache (still a hack, but one that takes all of two seconds).
At the moment, I'm keeping myself somewhat satisfied by just using adobe creative cloud for photos I care about, but it's not an ideal solution. And I'm annoyed that Apple basically forced me to buy a new phone a year or two earlier than I wanted to by crippling my old one with broken software.

- stefco_ 9y agoYes, it seems to be. The privacy and security emphasis is one of the main things keeping me locked in.
