Smartphone with 32 & 64GB too small for media

Are your iPhone and iPad photo libraries linked?

Yes, everything syncs through iCloud.

Do you think people buy books at Walmart? No way. Many buy them online.

There’s a pandemic out there, hence a lot of stuff is sold online. Photo prints and photo print books are most certainly online centric as you’d need an upload interface and in the case of photo print books a basic layout client to set them up.

Costco photo Centers are being removed from plenty retail locations for the same reasons, it’s a declining business that doesn’t need a store locally to operate.

I was talking about reading books.

Also, you are not keeping the data on a camera, you are offloading it. Most stuff is kept on a phone.

Good point, well made

 

[kenoh]

Not me. I keep my data on the SD card.

Hmm, SD cards are not reliable enough to be used for long term data archival - or photos stored as data. They are also too fragile. You need a better archiving plan than that.

 

[kenoh]

Because I want too. No good reason except for using HDMI to play media on my big tv.

If your TV is a smart TV then you are likely able to screen cast straight to it from your iPhone. If I remember correctly, you have an Apple TV box is that right? If so then you can airplay to the Apple TV from the phone meaning you don’t need to use physical cards - just a thought.

I know this but thanks anyways. For photos on iPhone I use my appleTV photos app to view them. For photos and videos on my canons I use HDMI cables. Note I backup everything on my Sd cards to my Mac and that is backed up as well so I can store my media on my SD cards.

I did not want a smart TV since I have a appleTV but it’s so difficult to find a non smart tv these days I had no choice in the matter.

As mentioned before I backup everything to Mac and the Mac is also backed up to a USB backup drive.

I didn’t know you could still get dumbTVs. Probably not worth the hassle anymore is it?

I could care less about the smart tv because I prefer the appleTV.

That is your preference. I use the AppleTV app on our TVs now instead of having to plug in physical ATV boxes.

The ATV box can do far more than just an app on a smart TV. For example you can download apps, and use apps like podcast, music, photos, and the like. All my iPhone media I can view on my big TV.
