I just liked iphotos better. Among other things Photos does some corny stuff like making 'memories' which (a) I don't like and (b) are unrelated pictures that Apple must have a weird algorithm to make and (c) they pop up when I least expect it. I've got them turned off now. I know that's a minor gripe. Just the first that comes to mind.
I'd like to find out how much it would cost me to upgrade since I bought the 7 in July and paid cash money for it. I would have bought an 8 or 8+ but was worried that due to their bigger sizes Ms Clumsy here might have a problem. A few weeks ago I went into one of the stores but it's bad timing now. Between kids on vacation and Xmas shopping the stores are pretty crowded.
