I’ll try:

“Inspired by auto makers charging a subscription to use features already installed in the car you purchased, Apple is rumored to announced a new subscription service: Messaging+.

Apple will allow you to send and receive messages to other iOS devices, but you’ll need to pay $1.99/month if you want to send or receive messages from non-iOS devices.“

I have an aunt who lost irreplacable data (thousands of photos from once in a lifetime events going back years) because she had a phone failure and was forced to restore the firmware. When she went to restore from the backup and restore the photo library to the device, she found that the blank device had backed up to the cloud and superceded the full backup from before the problem, and that 100% of the data was gone, both the photos and the backup. Genius bar told her there was nothing apple could do. Reinforced my belief that local backup is the only way
