I’m in the minority I guess cause I was happy about this. I hated having to install iTunes just to back up/restore phones. I wanted the full encrypted backup. iCloud doesn’t do that.

It was odd when I figured out one of my coworkers lived in the long term stay place behind the office for like 2 years. This was about a decade ago but I think he said it was like ~500 a month. He was making ~70K and absolutely could afford an apartment but that was somehow cheaper. He said it had trade offs…everything he owned fit in a suitcase and backpack.
