Apple introduces end-to-end encryption for backups

The fundamental iCloud product itself however is subpar and until that is dealt with, it won't be that huge.

Few examples: Still can't keep photos on iCloud and delete thumbs on the phone. A real issue my old iPhone had insufficient space and I had to move to OneDrive. Support for other operating systems is lacklustre. One of the core benefits of cloud is accessing your files anywhere when you need them, not possible unless you're lucky enough to find yourself on a Mac at that moment.

This is the biggest gotcha that causes people to lose data every day. They try to free up space on their phone only to unwittingly permanently delete photos.

The other really annoying thing is you pay $3/m for 200gb or $10/m for 2tb… there’s no middle ground, I’d like to pay $4 for 500gb or $6 for a tb.
