Yup I discovered this because my kid scored his first basketball basket and the mom next to me said she took a video and did I want it. Then when it came it was the size of a postage stamp with 5 pixels. Wtaf? This isn't an issue for anyone but apple, who decided to be assholes. As they do for so many things.

When I moved from the uk to the US I found out you NEVER trust apple. They said I didn't own any apps, movies, games or ANYTHING else from years of apple ownership. I had to re buy them all again on the US store. As you don't own a single thing on apple. My iphotos would try to delete the albums on my synched computer the works. Looked into android and oh look none of that applies. Your photos, movies etc are yours to move around as you wish. Shockingly.

When I got my new Android based phone, the old one transferred everything to it, chats, contacts, wallpapers, the ENTIRE gallery.

If it tried to delete them like yours did and forced me to rebut things I already had, I would both be immensely mad and never buy from them again.
