Apple icloud Cloud services are not streaming media services

In our concept, the typical cloud service should be that you can save the files, songs, videos, etc. you need in the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13792.html "> Cloud Server, When you need to use them, it will be transmitted to your device in a continuous way. However, Apple spokeswoman confirmed today that Apple's icloud is not a streaming media service in this sense, and you still need to store your "saved" files in the Apple icloud cloud on the ipad or iphone, whether you're listening or not.

Does this mean that the great and crazy Apple gives the user the option to download or play the song in streaming media? Apple's explanation for this is that a truly continuous "stream" should be able to download and listen to music instantly, and extracting files from machines is the best way to do that.

Apple, as always, has no further explanation for what it does. But I have a hunch that if you don't "download" the song to your music, Apple may give you a temporary cache on your machine, depending on the size of your machine cache, and you can clear the file if necessary.

This will have a huge impact on Apple's icloud cloud service. The selling point of cloud services is that you can access many large files at any time without having to worry about the files being filled with your hard drive. But in Apple's current system, you still need to worry about your hard drive.

Why does Apple do that? I have a hunch that this might be related to the legal license of a big record company and a publishing house. Apple, a manager who is responsible for music, told me that Apple had been given permission to broadcast streaming media from the record company. So that's not a problem.

Part of the reason is that Apple doesn't trust the current telecoms operators, and that's a look at how much trouble at&t and iphones are getting today. From this point of view, perhaps Apple should really buy a carrier.

On the other hand, Apple wants users to feel they are using Apple devices for entertainment, which is in opposition to the way Google and Amazon use browsers to get the files they want on any device.

Apple's platform is a system for storing files on devices that will give users a better experience and users will not be interested in the way Google and Amazon play on the cloud, according to an unnamed Apple executive.
