    tag-based file management in iOS.

    Could you clarify what this means? I’ve never used an iPhone, so I’m not familiar with how they handle files.

    Do they not use folders?

      It sounds similar to what google does where it uses a tag for categorizing instead of physical movement of a file into a folder system. Handy for exclusive use if everything exists for one purpose on the one os that uses it. An absolute pain in the ass when you need to conveniently back stuff up or require compatibility.

      They do use folders but I haven’t known anyone except older people to really utilize them. Most people just search for them. It’s flash memory and relatively few files so searching is faster then clicking through folders.
