2. iCloud cloud service automatically stores it in the cloud, which means pushing it to the server. So, when you take a picture with an iPhone 4s, it will be stored via iCloud and simultaneously pushed to your other devices. On your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, there are all sorts of important information. When the device is powered on, iCloud automatically backs it up every day through a WLAN network. Once connected to power, everything can be backed up quickly and efficiently. You just need to connect your device to the WLAN network and enter your Apple ID and password.
After several twists and turns, the reporter contacted the owner through Weibo, Douban, and Renren Network. The owner, Xiao Chen, is a post-90s girl from Nanjing Foreign Language School, born in 1994.
In her Renren Network status on the 4th, Xiao Chen said, "I deleted that album. I saw many people leaving comments, and I also did something wrong. I shouldn't have put the pictures online. I don't want the phone anymore; I gave it to her. Thank you all." The next day, she requested that all shared photos and status photos be deleted. "There were 170 people adding me as a friend and leaving messages in one day. I still have final exams to prepare for. Please stop sharing and uploading. Thank you very much." Xiao Chen hopes everyone deletes the content and expressed unwillingness to mention this incident again during the interview. Since she has to take her final exams soon, she doesn't want this matter to affect her mood.
However, some netizens pointed out whether the owner's act of posting the photos online constitutes an infringement of another person's right to their likeness. A netizen named Xingqiu said, "People who have lost things wouldn't think it's too excessive. It's possible to find the owner of the phone by contacting the most frequent contact in the address book, who could at least be a friend. A simple call would suffice."
Xie Chunsen, the sales manager of Nanjing Jianlin Technology Company, told reporters that if you want to achieve the synchronization function, three conditions must be met: first, the phone must have cloud services and online functions; second, you need to set up the phone in advance; third, ensure the phone remains connected to the Internet.
Yesterday, a microblog about a lost iPhone 4s went viral online. Originally, the owner lost an iPhone 4s with iCloud functionality. A girl found the phone, didn't return it, and instead enthusiastically took selfies. Unexpectedly, the iCloud cloud service function automatically synchronized the photos to the photo stream in the cloud and then synchronized them to the owner. Thus, the owner discovered the "finder's" selfies taken with the iPhone 4s. Outraged, the owner uploaded her selfie photos to Renren Network at 21:29 on the 4th. By nearly 11 PM, there were already 21 comments. Unexpectedly, by the morning of the 5th, it had stirred numerous netizens, and the event spread widely on Renren Network and Weibo.
Yesterday, microblogs about this incident also went viral, with very concise content: "Location, Nanjing. A girl lost an iPhone 4S during the New Year holiday, which was picked up by another girl who kept it and took selfies. Unbeknownst to her, the phone was running iOS 5.0.1, so the photos were automatically synced to the original owner via iCloud... The owner angrily posted her photos online. Progress: It became extremely popular on Renren Network."
Xiao Chen's recent Renren Network statuses showed that she had deleted the finder's photos and asked all friends who shared her status to delete them as well. The reporter contacted Xiao Chen through Renren Network's online chat tool. She told reporters that she lost her phone during the New Year period and even reported it to the police station near Xinjiekou. Since the phone contained important items, she was initially flustered and helpless. Later, she saw the finder's selfie photos, which were seen through the iCloud service, and impulsively posted them online out of anger.

On the other hand, some netizens said that even though the right to the likeness was violated, the finder herself was at fault and might not dare to sue the owner. Some netizens discussed the possibility that the finder may have already returned the phone to the owner.
Many netizens praised the cloud service function of the iPhone 4s. Netizens said, "As a computer novice, Apple is really a good thing. In front of high technology, let those who pick up money and hide tremble." They started exchanging how to set up such features.
3. The server will automatically send the photo to any of your Apple devices.
The reporter found that netizens reacted differently after seeing the finder's photos.
The owner is a post-90s girl from Nanjing.
So, how does the iPhone 4s achieve this function? This mainly owes to the cloud service function provided by Apple called iCloud.
The synchronization function of cloud services is very powerful. Downloading a new app on the iPhone will automatically appear on your iPad. You don't have to worry about synchronizing multiple devices because iCloud will do it for you. Suppose you bought an app a long time ago and now want to install it on your new iPod touch. All you need is an @me account. No matter what device you log in on, these pieces of information will automatically synchronize and push to the device where you logged in.
Under the iCloud service, any device's photos can automatically synchronize to the cloud. iCloud saves the last 30 days of photos, iOS devices save the latest 1000 photos, while Macs and PCs save all photos. This feature also supports Apple TV.
The photo stream of the iPhone 4s is more targeted in image sharing. Through this service, all photos taken by the iPhone will be automatically pushed to the server, and then the server will push this content to each Apple device or Apple computer with macOS installed or Windows system computers previously logged in with a personal ID.
