Apple Photos vs. Google Photos

I’m very much an “Apple” person. I’ve had an iPhone since the 3GS. My first Mac was a 12" iBook G4 that I bought in 2005. I don’t use Gmail, nor do I use Google Search. Instead, I use Fastmail and either DuckDuckGo or Kagi. I do have a YouTube Premium account and I also like Google Gemini a lot.

So I figured I might want to try out Google Photos to see if it has any better editing or search compared to Apple Photos.

It doesn’t. In fact, it’s pretty lacklustre compared to what Apple Photos offers. The search is about the same, but the photo editing on Google Photos is not even in the same league as Apple Photos, never mind the same ballpark.
