company's prices are not the cheapest around. Apple, of course, sells additional iCloud storage - starting at $0.99 per month for 20GB and climbing to $19.99 per month for 1TB - but the Cupertino, Calif.
The 5GB of free space iCloud provides can quickly vanish under the weight of storing full-resolution photographs. iCloud Photo Library is off by default, a good thing since unlike "My Photo Stream," the contents of the new Library are counted against the storage space remaining in a user's account.
ICloud Photo Library - which remains in beta on iOS - generally leaves lower-resolution images on the local device but stores the full-resolution originals in the cloud. iCloud will also be used to sync changes to images and for sharing photographs and video with others. "iCloud Photo Library," for example, lets users store photographs and videos on Apple's servers, making them available from any of that user's iOS or OS X devices, or from other platforms through a browser. Like many of the changes Apple has introduced to OS X, Photos resembles the same-named app on iOS. The biggest addition to 10.10.3 is Photos, the successor to the 13-year-old iPhoto, which has been criticized for its awkward interface and confusing connection to the cloud.
That beta was offered to users who had registered with the preview program Apple launched to test updates for the then-current OS X Mavericks, and in mid-2014 to do the same for Yosemite, Mavericks' replacement.Ĭomputerworld staffers downloaded and installed the 1.5GB 10.10.3 update without problems.
The third update to Yosemite since the OS's debut last October, 10.10.3's release followed a public beta by just over a month. Apple today updated OS X Yosemite to 10.10.3, a build most notable for Photos, a new application that replaces the aged iPhoto.
