Dumb rant, but the “your iCloud storage is full” message I received this morning pushed me over the edge. I paid for the 512 gb of storage on my phone, match that with iCloud storage. Okay, please comment and tell me how dumb I am because everyone else has known for a decade that Apple sells incomplete products to increase their revenue. Have a nice day.

Cloud storage is a luxury, not a guarantee — it’s generous that we even get any for free.

Your iPhone came with the features that were listed at the time of the purchase.

Mate who the fuck is giving out 512GB of free cloud storage? Name one service that does fhat

You’re dumb because you somehow expect Apple to give you cloud storage equivalent to the storage already on your phone without expecting reimbursement.

Do you also complain that your computer’s cloud storage of choice (if you use it) isn’t giving you free space equivalent to your computer’s hard drive?

Good grief.

They could give you nothing.

Does your phone do everything it's advertised to? then it's not incomplete.

your iPhone works just fine without using any iCloud storage at all. cloud storage is a separate product which costs money to run.

It takes upkeep costs to keep online servers/storage to run in the first place. You're lucky if you get 5gb of free storage.

Bruh the Apple boot licking is really disturbing. I doubt you’d say that you’re lucky to get free Google cloud or Microsoft OneDrive storage. And even they’d give you 10GB. Paying $1000 for a phone and getting only 5GB is weak.

10gb is not 512gb like OP was asking for

You said you’re lucky to get even 5GB.

You are. Google gives you 15GB because making ad money based off your data is their business model.

And by that logic 5GB iCloud is just a trial for more storage.

Dunno about same size, but I wish they offered a $4.99 option for 1TB. That’d be perfect size for me.

I do think that it should be 5gb per device. 5gb by todays standards is pretty low.

Guess you should just switch to Google then. And rage when they, too, charge you for cloud storage matching your phone. Because cloud storage costs money.

The idea of giving storage per device storage is bad idea . However I believe that they should give storage based on the number of device

I surrender. I’m signing up for Apple storage. I still dislike that they continually messaged me about it, but seeing as Apple has not done the massive layoffs that other tech companies have done, I’m going to support their business.
