Ditching iOS for Android

Check in Settings, Photos and you probably have Optimise Storage turned on. This aggressively relies on iCloud to store the actual photos, while keeping a thumbnail cache on the phone.

Yeah I'm assuming it's that, however pretty sure I had this enabled on my 6 but Photos still used to consume gigabytes of internal storage. Maybe iOS 11 just deals with it better. My Mum now has that handset so I'll have to have a nose next time I see her to see if it's doing the same.
 
So I've done it for good now and I think my grumps are still the same as they were when I did my trial.

I really do miss the tapping the top of the screen rather than scrolling

There's no reminder app as default so I'm having to do third party and it keeps reminding me on my lock screen for the next reminder

Apart from that I'm just having to deal with a much bigger handset, but that isn't androids fault
