iCloud Photo Library is similar but no compression hijinx - it's always original quality in the cloud and you can choose to store only "high quality" locally on your device to save device space (hilariously, the opposite of Google). You pay for the storage (but you can't get more than 2TB for love nor money).

Now you can, up to 4TB: “ With Apple One, you can choose a subscription plan that includes 50GB, 200GB, or 2TB of iCloud storage. If you need more iCloud storage, you can buy more for a total of up to 4TB. ” https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201318 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201318

  Google offers both options, though? It used to offer free - unlimited "high quality" photos, which they have now stopped (Still available to Pixels (till P4) for 3 years since the respective phone was launched) You can choose to pay for storage and keep original quality uploads?
