> You gain absolutely nothing if you upload your contacts, photos and other data to iCloud.

This seems so deliberately wrong that I shouldn’t respond, but I will. Quick and easy synchronization of contacts, calendars, and photos are all features that I appreciate. What’s more, my fearful-of-technology brother tells me how useful they are to him. He mentioned photo sync as a benefit only a few days ago.

The OP was referring to iCloud vs. Google. Not the features of sync in general.

By "gain" they meant privacy. You gain no privacy... you lose privacy when using iCloud and Apple Calendar

"Gain nothing" ... over Google's superior features.
