How is common sense hatred?

I am just saying what a normal person would do not a HN or tech user would do.

> They literally deleted his personal photo's from his phone without his consent. They didn't even ask. If he'd actually signed up for it, then sure, in that case they're offering a desired service. That's clearly not the situation though.

Except it is not 'deleted', it is on iCloud, it is your choice for this to be temporary or permanent.

Again, every Apple account has 5GB of iCloud for free, it has always been like this and even the author knows it.

The real problem is that the author accepted Apple's terms without even knowing or reading the terms like most people do. By using the iPhone he agrees to their ToS.

I know this because the terms of service shows up you setup the iPhone and when you update the iPhone OS.

But i'm sure you and him have read every line in most Terms of Service right?

It's literally the opposite of common sense. :(

Common sense is when your users use their device to take a photo, and have not explicitly signed up for your extra (off device) "backups", then you do not ___delete their files___ from their actual storage location.

    It is common sense for normal people when using these devices.

    Even the author doesn't want to move.

    > Will this change my behavior in any way? I already don’t buy most apple products, precisely for the “walled garden” reason. I have this iPad and that’s it. I’ll try to not buy more.

    So here is what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year:

    Nothing.

    The author will continue to use the iPad and move on with his life.

    That is called a digital camera.
