If this happens, I wonder if something like IFTTT can cross-post and backup photos.

Or is this just another social photo service like Facebook, Instagram, Picasa, Flickr, 500px and SmugMug?

How much you want to bet if it happens Apple will offer to sell you prints and other photo products.

Interesting. I guess I’m so heavily invested in the Google sync ecosystem I never give the syncing part of iCloud much thought.
