People are commenting services as well, guess I'm adding to it. These are the only services I pay for.

Google One. Google photos is just magic, cheaper storage elsewhere just doesn't cut it. Also why I won't be switching to ios anytime soon. First party solutions always feel better.

Youtube Premium.

Vote for Apple One here. Exceptional value if you have a few people sharing it.
I just wish they wouldn't gatekeeper Apple Fitness with a geolock.

I'm paying the same as the rest of the people, but can't use it because of ... reasons?

We don't need localisation, I don't want the exercises to be in my native language, I can understand english just fine.

I would imagine that because fitness+ involves heath data it is legally complicated to launch it everywhere at once.

There are probably also licensing issues with the trainers and music across various jurisdictions that need to need worked out.

It would be nice to get a token discount for features you can’t use though, you’re right

fyi, Google Photos works great with iOS. I don't believe there are any missing features.
Does it now auto backup without keeping the app open? Also does apple nag you to upload to icloud?
I dont use icloud for photos and never get nagged about it. I do pay the 99 cents/month for extended icloud for general stuff. I never have to open google photos to sync, it just happens.
That's pretty neat
