Can’t say I’ve seen many issues with Time Capsule backups that weren’t an issue with the storage target. Actually I can’t think of any off hand. But I was referring to the phone backups, which from a business perspective are a godsend over dealing with Android.

I'm sure that's true, but isn't super relevant in the consumer space. It tells me every day to do a backup but the only way to do so is to pay for it. Can't turn off the notification, either. I bought a $1200 phone that regularly prompts me to give it more money to be "safe"

So your argument is that you want it all bundled in the price of the phone? You bought a $1200 phone and won’t spend $1.99 a month for backup space. When you buy a car do you expect gas to be free for the first year too?

I already pay someone else to power my phone, so that analogy is fundamentally flawed. I'm fine with Apple asking for money for a backup. I'm not fine with being reminded daily that it needs to be done if I'm unwilling to pay for it. This isn't complicated.

So if you nuke the iCloud backup and disable it, the notification doesn’t go away for you?

No, it comes back multiple times a week. Wouldn't care if it was a one-off or even monthly.

Lemme snag a device from the drawer tomorrow. I know I have devices not using iCloud and not prompting. I’ll see if I can figure out how the hell that was done again.

Oh wait you're saying the answer is to not use iCloud at all? Why can't I have a button on my phone that says "don't do backups (this is unsafe)" and be done with it?

Didn’t you just say there are zero features you want to use in iCloud? Sorry I thought I was helping you find a solution not to be nagged or use it.

I'm fine with that solution for myself, just thinking about a way to approach Apple with solutions instead of problems. Would rather not actively recommend disabling iCloud to others, my workflow is more than a little unusual.

We tech bloggers use our platform to bitch about Zero World Problems way too much, which is why I've only really whined here.
