I have no idea what people are complaining about.

In Photos you can create as many albums as you like. If you don't organize your photos into albums then, yeah scrolling through the library of all the photos will be a PITA. But even then, they'll be organized by year and month.

I can select the photos I want and then I have several options about how to move them somewhere else.

Airdrop to a Mac or other Apple device.

Mail them or send them in a text message.

Move them via WhatsApp.

Or download them to Google Drive.

Someone else mentioned iCloud already. Your photos are automatically uploaded there and you can easily access them through a PC web browser.

I also have iXpand meaning I have a SanDisk thumb drive I can put into my phones lightening port.

Why people are talking about iTunes is a mystery to me. iTunes went away years ago.

You may even have an app for your camera. I have a Nikon app that allows me to upload Gigs worth of photos. I don't use it because there are so many other options.

Other than the iXpand, all this is done via WiFi or Cellular.

You don't say what social media you have to upload the photos to, but I've done it to Craigslist, Zillow, Reddit and others I don't recall, through the Safari browser.

You say you want to share photos from your PC to the phone and then to Instagram, I'm baffled by that sequence. How did you get the photos to the PC to begin with? Why can't you go straight to Instagram from there?

> U can go to iCloud.com from ur pc and all your files are there to download.

I'm happy to see someone mentions it.

Yep. Absolutely.

Well, that an the cheap phone I bought to run some tests for a friend.

But yeah, the TV experience is absolutely the reason.

Of course, I'm also kind of pissed at Google for selling my soul to the NSA and stuff like that. You know how it is, once you get betrayed by a company it just starts to snowball.

Yeah, I should have taken it to r/android or whatever.

Thanks for the acknowledgement.

I've had my iPhone 8 for at least 2 years w/o a case. It works "just fine".

I have AppleCare. Used it once. The battery was swelling. Don't recall it costing a thing.

I wouldn't use a case. Others might.

You might consider that the EU mandated this change because Google paid them to.

With US sanctions cutting the US out of Chinese and Russian markets, the Chinese are now developing their own jet engines. They have a population of 1B so even if these planes never fly outside of their border, they'll be economically viable.

I've never quite understood why one would not want the latest OS. It's free, fixes bugs, generally doesn't cause you to lose any ability to run your apps. (Generally because when Mac went from 32 to 64 bit my MS-Office no longer worked, but then the installed Apple apps are more than an adequate replacement.

You talk about all the stuff you don't care about, we'll if you don't care, why make so much trouble for yourself by not upgrading?

Let's see....

Russia has already proven that stealth tech won't stop even the S300, let alone their more advanced systems.

B52s are more than good enough to carry long range missiles to be launched at a stand-off range.

While Russia is still flying about 200 sorties or more a day, few of them penetrate Ukraine airspace even though the AFU has a terribly coordinated air defense. No need.

The change has been compared to the obsolescence of the Battleship in WWII. Manned aircraft like the F35 are no longer viable when precision drones can be used instead.
