Apple cancels its photo printing service and encourages us to use third-party services

We have already talked a lot about the good ones results Apple is having with digital services. Services that report large numbers due to the great reception they are having from their users, something that has made Apple catches up with industry leading companies from cloud storage (Dropbox has fallen a lot), or from the streaming music market (placing the Cupertino guys at the height of Spotify).

A great job, the one that the Cupertino guys have done that has sometimes been overshadowed by less successful movements. This is what happened with Apple's photographic printing service ... Not everything always works, and when something does not work, it is best to cut your losses. Apple just shut down its photo printing service, and to help us recommend third-party printing services. After the jump we give you more details ...

El Apple's photo printing service was born back in 2002, a service integrated into the mythical iPhoto that allowed us to print photos, create albums, postcards, and even calendars. A service that we tried at the time and that it worked quite well, obviously from Apple they have made numbers, and at a time when photo prints are down substantially, it was not profitable to continue maintaining this service. In fact, after the disappearance of iPhoto to make way for Photos, this possibility has already been eliminated from mobile devices.

Of course, from Apple they know that there is still aSome users who want to have their memories in physical formatTherefore, if we access this function from the only site that continued to be offered, our Mac, we will see the notice that heads this post encouraging us to use services such as Mimeo Photos, Wix, GoodTimes, WhiteWall, or Shutterfly in order to continue printing all those photographs you want.
