your access to your applications if you do not renew. From a business perspective it is smart and makes sense, but from a user perspective, I find it very annoying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The team actually cares<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They killed Apple&#8217;s older Photos platform in order to pave for the new. Took lots of guts, and I think it was the right decision. Unity between all the Apple iOS-ecosystem is a smart phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have personally met the Apple photos team, and they are smart, intelligent, hard working, creative, and fantastic. I trust them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.
