So does my iPhone but that's somehow ok?
- astura 2y agoPayPal few months ago prompted me to "finish setting up my account." ...For an account has been open for 23 years.
- macNchz 2y agoI don’t see where that comment was giving Apple a pass. They are indeed really egregious in upselling iCloud, in my opinion. The fact they sell devices with undersized, non-user-upgradable base model storage and default to storing lots of stuff in iCloud so it winds up filling up is pretty blatant. I’ve had to help a number of friends and family who kept getting iCloud storage full messages on their iPhones because they didn’t realize that their Desktop folder on their Mac had been slurped up into iCloud by some update, and was full of large files they didn’t care about accessing on their phone.
- endisneigh 2y agoWhy do people do this? Literally no mention or relevance to apple or iPhone, nor approval of that behavior yet the comparison is made anyway
- Sharlin 2y agoI guess whataboutism is a rhetorical technique approximately as old as verbal communication.
- LegitShady 2y agobecause thats the way the whole industry acts now and suddenly microsoft aligns with it and its bad. I need an apple account to activate an iphone, and it bugs me about cloud photos and backups no matter what. I need a google account to activate a pixel phone, and it bundles google photos and tries to sell me cloud storage too. everybody is doing it. Its the norm now. Either make it so nobody can do it or criticize everyone.

- LegitShady 2y agobecause its now the industry norm, by the biggest players.
- adhvaryu 2y agoDid you assume op uses an iPhone?
- resource_waste 2y agoApple users are conditioned. Its a personal image they are going for, the experience never mattered.
