Apple should “buy Everpix and integrate that functionality right into iOS and the Mac”

So says Bradley Chambers, and it sounds good to me. I’m a big fan of the way Everpix grabs all of my photos, though it’s not really a cloud backup service.

Buy Everpix and integrate that functionality right into iOS and the Mac. I love Everpix as standalone company, but a lot of people aren’t ever going to hear about them unless it was functionality built right in by default. Also, photo stream needs to be reversed. Apple should store ALL photos/video taken with your iPhone and just store the most recent 1000 (or 30 days) locally on the device.

People don’t really know how to manage their photos on their phone, Chambers says: “Parents largely don’t have a digital workflow that allows for backup, usability, and long term storage. Apple has always prided itself on making technology for regular people. This is a problem that regular people need solved. Photo storage and backup needs to be automatic and so easy that it’s nearly impossible to screw up.”
