    People vs. Faces in Photos

    Are these two the same concept but re-branded and resold under a new moniker? And if so, has anyone found that their existing Faces that they've spent so much time categorizing gets carried over to the People part of the new MacOS/iOS systems? I'm sorting out People now on my iPhone and it is an...

    iCloud Photo Library, Photostream, and the saga of deleting photos ONLY in one place...

    I apologize if this has been covered before ad nauseam, but I can't seem to get an accurate answer even from the Apple Store reps. In an alternate life, when Apple still had your Photostream as one album and your Camera Roll as another, you could delete a photo from your Camera Roll after it...
