$1m to Trump and now this!

Tim Apple was going to kick $1M to whomever won. For a guy with a net worth in the tens of billions, this is just a tip to the wait staff at the Table Of Success.

But the Apple photo library is a huge potential source of revenue. Its worth significantly more than $1M. This is, incidentally, why you don't need to pay Apple to host those images. If you're not the client, you're the product.

Huh? You pay for anything above 5 GB or so. It's standard for most cloud providers to offer a free tier to get you hooked. Their storage after that isn't all that cheap even.
