Gather around Children while I tell you a story about how dumb Apple is
My mom bought an iphone X a long time ago and it's been running long in the tooth. And since my phone recently died, I was thinking to backup all her data on her iphone X. The way that my Mom's iphone X is setup is that I'd have it back up photos and videos to the computer since I like doing local backups. But for some reason, it keeps disconnecting after a few minutes when doing the backup regardless of which lightning cable I use. So alright fair enough as the phone is old now... Lets do an icloud backup...
So I went ahead and tried to enable it but I get a warning message. It says "Syncing photos via iTunes is not supported when iCloud photo library is turned on, 1135 photos and videos will be removed." I am like... wtf... So I search this up and it's because somehow, apple managed to make iCloud photo/video sync incompatible with their own itunes backup. So you have to choose one or the other and if you want to switch at some point... Well I hope you backed it up... Meanwhile on android... You can do whatever you want!
Now I can probably just use a different cloud provider to back it up or transfer the files over Bluetooth if I really need to (Since I don't have a macbook for air drop) but this is so dumb. Apple has full top to bottom control. Why is this even a thing?
