If your mother has an iphone you can just grab the photo from her icloud.com. Much simpler than messing with cables. And no, lock-in is not what drives design

And no, lock-in is not what drives design at apple.
- atoav 7y agoWell, I live in a nation which has quite an oppressive past. Storing your pics on somebody elses machine is not a popular thing to do around here.
- Grustaf 7y agoOk but that is hardly Apple’s fault though.
- atoav 7y agoWe were talking about lock in. And my argument was that making it harder to get your pictures onto another device without using another apple service is a form of lock in. It is a computer you should be able to connect it via USB and drag files over.
- Grustaf 7y agoThe whole point about ios is that it’s a new paradigm. They don’t make it harder to lock you in, you just don’t need to do that anymore. If you insist on using an ipad as an old fashioned pc, well yes then it will appear inconvenient. But that is like complaining that there’s no disk defragger or command line.
