Regular People Have No Idea How To Manage Photos On Their iPhone
I found this post by Bradley Chambers via Daring Fireball.
Apple needs to do one of the following things (in my opinion):
Buy Everpix and integrate that functionality right into iOS and the Mac. I love Everpix as standalone company, but a lot of people aren't ever go to hear about them unless it was functionality built right in by default. Also, photo stream needs to be reversed. Apple should store ALL photos/video taken with your iPhone and just store the most recent 1000 (or 30 days) locally on the device.
Make iCloud free for the total size of all the active devices backing up to that account. If I have a 16GB iPhone and a 32GB iPad, I should have 48GB available on iCloud for backups. If a device doesn't "check in" every 90 days, then that amount is removed from your quota. This would also be another reason to buy higher storage devices.
Make iCloud storage a terabyte for all users for free. This is almost the same as number two, but giving you so much that you'll likely not run out for a decade or so. Yahoo did it for Flickr, why can't Apple?Bradley Chambers
I disagree with Bradley. Apple and Yahoo ( and Google ) are in different business. Yahoo and Google make money from selling advertising. The end-user is the product. Google and Yahoo can offer seemingly free services in exchange for collecting and analyzing use information. The continuous advertising revenue generated by the user offsets the cost of providing those services. Apple, however, sells an actual product. The end-user is the customer. I only buy a new Apple device once in a while but Apple would have to give me service for the lifetime of that product. I have no MBA or large business experience but I just don't see how Apple would recoup the costs or running these services?
How to use iOS 6 camera app to take panorama photos on the iPhone
My friend Irmina recently asked me how I used my iPhone to take panorama images. She had seen me do it last year while we were out in Mercer Park on a photo walk. When Apple released iOS 6 the native Camera app was updated and a new panorama feature was added. The feature is limited to the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 and allows users to take 240-degree panoramic photos using the native iOS Camera app. Using the feature is quite straight forward as I'll show below.
Launch the camera app and tap on the "Options" button.
Tap the panorama button.
Frame your scene and slowly start moving across your scene. By default the camera app sweeps from left to right. You can change the director on the weep by tapping the arrow. Note: You must do this before you start taking the panorama. You can also do vertical panoramas by changing the orientation of the iPhone. Vertical panoramas are great for taking photos of trees or buildings.
The circular camera icon to start taking your panorama. Move slowly and continuously in the direction of the arrow until you've capture the scene you want. If you move too quickly the camera app will display a warning. You want to move at a steady pace to prevent the photos from coming out blurry. You don't have to take a full 240-degree photo. You can stop at any time by pressing the on screen shutter button.
That's all to making panorama on the iPhone. Have fun enjoying this feature of iOS 6.
