My recent experience with Apple has been anti-user .. juice their bottom line.... - iCloud storage notifications saying have to upgrade to $9.99 plan to continue to store my photos, videos and even worse if I wanted to continue getting my iCloud emails. What(?), as my Google Photos is still sucking/backing up all the same media (goes back to 2016) for free. LAME Apple especially threat of not getting my iCloud emails!!!! - Apple Intelligence is so LAME compared to chatGPT app that runs on my iPhone. ChatGPT's iPhone app, it's assistant is almost sentient while Siri is still HORRID as it still at times doesnt understand you, you cant have a conversation with it or have it recall previous conversation/info you previously discussed as you can with GPT on iPhone. Again very LAME Apple! If Microsoft and Open AI made a ChatGPT AI phone I'd drop Apple quickly especially after my first point above ...threatening me that i wont receive my emails if I didnt give them more money!

Uh, Gmail also has usage limits for each tier. I know before I’ve painstakingly removed emails with large attachments just so I can keep receiving my email.

  15gb on the free tier...empty your emails folks. This madness of keeping every email is insane. I had a user with 60000 unopened emails on one account just 2 weeks ago. It's like some folks refuse to do basic data/comms house keeping.

    I have junk gmail address that gets filtered into my real gmail account (Zunk label instead of Junk) which keeps my real gmail account clean (few to handful of emails a day of things that are meaningful). Ive always have given out my junk gmail address to anyone i dont know personally or do business with.

To my knowledge Google will do the same thing if you are running out of space. I believe it is shared also but I could be wrong. I have been out of Google's ecosystem for a while. Apple should increase the base amount of storage with iCloud for free. What you mentioned itself is not an Apple thing to my knowledge. > Apple Intelligence is so LAME compared to chatGPT app that runs on my iPhone.

Again very LAME Apple! Unless you are on the beta, you are not actually using Apple Intelligence. Even if you are on the 18.1 beta, they have made it clear that they there are multiple updates for everything to come out.

  THanks, just always have had good user experience in every way with Apple, so getting email notifications one after the other where they said you need to upgrade if you want us to continue backing your stuff up was mildly odd. Yet, in their first communication they didnt mention anything about not getting email yet they did in the third or so email which felt very anti-user to me. As for Apple Intelligence Ive been using it since late September/early October. Been using ChatGPT app on iPhone for months to more so I expected Siri to be comparable to GPT but its not even close at all. Siri still doesnt understand you always like GPT does, points you to a Google search (maybe that's due to a built agreement with Google) for most things and can not recall how many calories i ate a few days ago (example of recall memory). Using GPT while driving is awesome/handy/i find it very useful (to get info for various chores & count my daily calories). Yet Siri to have the same experience would cause me to have accident.

    Yeah, all of that Siri stuff you're trying isn't there yet. 18.1 (the current beta) has minor improvements to Siri for immediate follow up requests and parsing requests where you stumble over words. 18.2 is supposed to be picking up ChatGPT integration so Siri can ask it about things. The "personal context" recall is apparently in 18.4, so we won't see it until next year. Honestly, 18.1 launching the new Siri UI (the glowy look) feels like a bad idea -- I'd have kept it until 18.4 when the real intelligence improvements actually land. https://www.macrumors.com/2024/09/22/apple-intelligence-features-timing/ https://www.macrumors.com/2024/09/22/apple-intelligence-feat...

Google no longer offers unlimited photo backup and Apple Intelligence hasn’t been released yet…
- paul7986 2y ago
  As of today 18.1 Apple Intelligence was released. I was running the Apple Intelligence beta for the last month.
  - joshstrange 2y ago
    18.1 has not been released, it will be released on Monday, October 28th and it will still not contain all the features they previewed (nor did the beta).
    - paul7986 2y ago
      Ah my bad i just updated to 18.1 per a system settings notification i received today. I was running 18.1 betas the last few weeks so I guess for beta users they were updated today to regular 18.1.

What does this have to do with the Apple credit card?
