When is “turn off the cloud” no longer a viable option.
I think it’s optimistic that 40% of people think our devices will continue to be useful in the future without a connection to a cloud service.
Ok. I did not phrase this question well so let me try again. At what point do you think our mobile devices will become sufficiently tied to cloud services that “turn off cloud” is no longer an option — either explicitly, or *effectively*.
And by “effectively” I mean: the capabilities of the device are sufficiently degraded and/or the cost of the alternative (eg buying a local computer for backup) is sufficient to rule out this option for typical users.
And by “typical user” I mean ordinary people. If you use Linux on the Desktop you are not a typical user, so try to get in their headspace. :)
Since I’m asking dumb questions: I was informed that it’s possible to activate an iPhone without an Apple ID. Did you know this?
