Re: just got a Iphone6 plus, cases and questions
@Dark, Yes indeed, a luddite. I now have Win7 installed with the intention of liking it, because I really see no choice in the matter. I have Classic Start on standby, in case the Win7 Start Menu is really as yucky as I remember it. But we've had this discussion before.
Yes, you're right that apps are required to use iCloud, the critical difference here being that, essentially, any app can use any data, and there is no longer restriction of apps to their own data. That is quite a big change, despite the obvious potential for evildoing, it is a big improvement on the past situation, even though many people solved the problem then by essentially using a single app as their container. It's no different to Dropbox, only now you have nice integration across the f ront. And, in a remarkable show of deference, the same features that iCloud uses to achieve this integration are now made available to other so-called "Storage providers", which in theory means that you could keep it all local if you chose, without using any cloud, if the app provided networking--possibly even networking compatible with XP. But like you said, it seems you've found your comfort zone so this probably isn't something that would attract with sufficient strength. I'm not using iCloud for docs only by choice, but I've now encountered several cases where it would've been damned useful, not least in getting data from my email accounts onto a new computer quickly, think registration keys and dongle patch files. But since I use iTunes and don't know of a local-only cloud transfer app yet, it hasn't been worthwhile to use iCloud just for the organisational benefits.
