  • MAYBE you could make an argument if my Mac screen was in vertical portrait layout all the time, you could begin to argue in favor of the thought process behind the current design.

    This is all before you even brain storm actual UI design ideas—the base-argument is invalid.

    Why do you want to back them up? The iCloud sync is pretty good, unless you are worried about deleting photos yourself by accident and not noticing during the 30-day window that they would still be in the “recently deleted” directory.
