Amaya Toman Today, iCloud is an obvious part of the Apple ecosystem, but it wasn't always like that. The official launch of this service took place in the first half of October 2011. Until then, Apple promoted Macy as a digital center for its services and functions.

The arrival of the iCloud service and its gradual development and expansion was welcomed by many apple fans. Communication between devices was suddenly easier thanks to iCloud, it offered more options, and there was also a significant improvement and efficiency in working with files that users no longer had to store only locally.
Steve Jobs also collaborated on the development of iCloud, who also officially presented the service during WWDC 2011. Unfortunately, he did not live to see its official launch. After less than a decade, when the Mac was the main tool for synchronizing and transferring data from various Apple devices, Apple, led by Jobs, decided that it was time to go with the times and use the Internet for these purposes. The gradual development of the iPhone also contributed to this, as well as the introduction of the iPad. These mobile devices were able to perform similar functions to a computer, users carried them with them all the time, and it was a matter of course that they also had a continuous Internet connection. Connecting to a Mac to transfer data, media files, and other actions suddenly began to seem unnecessary and somewhat retrograde.

However, iCloud was not Apple's first attempt to introduce a service of this type. In the past, the company introduced, for example, the MobileMe platform, which for $99 a year allowed users to store contacts, media files and other data in the cloud, which they could then connect to from their other devices. But the MobileMe service soon proved to be tragically unreliable.

Flying around the world with Apple Jobs claimed that MobileMe tarnished Apple's reputation and eventually had the entire platform scrapped. He subsequently had iCloud gradually built from its ruins. "iCloud is the easiest way to manage your content because iCloud does it all for you and goes far beyond anything available today," Eddy Cue said of the service's launch. iCloud had its ups and downs - after all, almost like any other service, application or product - but it certainly cannot be said that Apple did not work on the further development and improvement of this platform.
I remember the launch in 2011 very well. for many years, the web operating system, which I used a lot, was not on the iCloud website. Then Apple came along and suddenly it was gone.
