If they are only doing it on iCloud what's wrong with continuing that? What was their incentive for having it on Phone?

Been wondering this myself.

It’s a huge move, and a big change in the presumptions of how their platform works.

I’m heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem and it’ll take a years work to get off it.

I’m thinking of the prevailing principles of whatever I do best, and one of them is, excise integrated platforms as much as possible.

But most consumers will probably not care, and this road will get paved for miles to come.

They pay for running iCloud; you pay for running your phone.
