Does the platform seem to you likeCloud as a matter of course, which is inextricably linked to society Apple and its services? But it wasn't always like that. Today, it is also celebratingCloud the seventh anniversary of its launch. What was it like back then?

On October 12, 2011, the company Apple launched the service andCloud, which allowed users to automatically and wirelessly store content and access it from multiple devices. The arrival of iCloudu meant for Apple an important milestone in the service provision strategy and in the way individual Apple devices are interconnected.

iCloud was introduced by Steve Jobs during his last Keynote na WWDC, but Jobs did not live to see the service launched. iCloud essentially replaced Jobs' vision of a digital hub centered on the Mac. The concept worked more or less smoothly for nearly a decade, but with the arrival of the iPhone in 2007, a sense of change began to be felt in the air. Slowly, the concept began to take shape cloudThe first success was Apple's MobileMe project in 2008, under which users received storage space in the cloud for $99 per year. clouduk storing documents, photos and other data. But MobileMe's huge problem was its high unreliability. "Can someone tell me what MobileMe is supposed to do?", Jobs furiously asked the responsible team. When he got an answer, he angrily replied: "Then why the hell doesn't it do it?". MobileMe eventually disappeared from the scene due to Jobs's intervention and Eddy Cue was assigned to oversee the new project.

iCloud practically rose from the ashes of MobileMe. Steve Jobs joked that evenCloud is actually a kind of big hard drive in the clouds. "iCloud is the easiest way to manage your content because evenCloud "does everything for you and goes far beyond what's possible today," Cue said in a statement announcing the service's launch. "You don't have to worry about syncing your devices because it happens automatically — and it's free."

Despite some mixed reactions, today it also representsCloud – similar to Siri – significant success Appand a significant part of its business. Although it often doesn't seem like it, the Apple company is committed to improving andCloudu is constantly working. The future Applu is, according to his own words, wireless, and therefore in itCloud plays such a significant role.
