It remains the fact that icloud is an incomplete, dumb and brutish syncing service. Mighty Apple should be able to offer some additional features like the possibility to delete photos on one device without touching those in the cloud. They are almost 1 trillion worth, for chrissakes.
I have wondered that myself.
Agreed!
