What’s the use case?

Not paying for overpriced cloud storage for one.

I don't know that there's a lot of overlap between apple users and people that mind overpaying.

But paying for overpriced device storage then?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're equating monthly cloud storage payments to paying 40$ per TB of external HDD storage?

For reference, 200GB of iCloud storage are 3$/month, so 36$ per year.

Check prices before you make comments like this.

Ah, was more talking about the 100 $ to 200 $ price tag for next storage segment on device, since you’ll have to store all pics in hi-res on device vs only "tiny" thumbnails and getting the full pic on demand.
