I didn't want this update anyway, but c'mon. Don't tell me I have 64 GB of storage on my phone if your iOS (12.42) + system data (11.11) + updates (14.1) take up 59%. For all intents and purposes, I have 26 GB of storage.

@dillyd Yesterday I found myself ranting about camera resolution. Back at the dawn of the digital SLR era people generally believed that 6MP was a good approximation for film, provided you just making standard prints. Sure, more is better if you're in the business of wrapping city buses with images. But MP was a marketing thing - the more MP the more better for reasons!
Now the latest Google Pixel comes with a 50MP camera. Beyond around 24MP this gives you absolutely nothing. With sensors this small your camera is fighting the geometry of the universe, with sophisticated strategies needed to differentiate signal (captured light) from quantum effects (noise) - all with virtual no improvement in image quality.
But one this is good for? Sucking up all your phone's memory and locking you into cloud storage plans.

"Oh what's that, you'd like to Uninstall bloatware and system apps you don't use? Hahaha no."

@dillyd Nice! In our home it's kind of a hybrid. I'm the only Android in a sea of Apples but whenever anybody wants to take a photo it's "can i borrow your phone?" because their storage is all full. Meanwhile, I got trapped into a cloud subscription.

@Centretowner @dillyd Yes, that's a valid point! The images are always 50MP on the Pixels, but the default is 24MP, I believe. The sensor is a physical thing, so always 50MP, but the images are down-scaled in post-processing. Just as well, at that full resolution, the images would be very soft and noisy anyway without all their little AI/etc tricks they do afterward.
But one thing that has become standard default is motion stills - stacking multiple stills to make a short animation.
