I guess they must have pretty good data indicating that photo stream doesn't add any value. Yes, it is just another view on an existing data set, but if people used it I'm sure they wouldn't get rid of it. I can't imagine it's that expensive to run, unless the storage used for it falls outside of the icloud storage that they charge for.
- bamfly 3y agoI've been a pretty heavy Apple user since ~2011 and had to search to find out WTF this even is (TFA didn't give me enough info to determine what the point of it was).
- agloe_dreams 3y agoThat is exactly it. It was a 30 day backup with no cost and no storage inclusion. It could keep people from buying iCloud storage
- bamfly 3y agoAnyone maintaining their own backups as a cost-savings strategy must have found a much more efficient way to do it than I have. Plus value their time at $0/hr. And/or are doing it in a way that's guaranteed to lose much of their data at least once in their lifetime. I doubt enough people were still using this that it'll make much difference in iCloud profits even if all of them who weren't already paying for iCloud, start.
