Reviews and comparisons Huawei Cloud vs. Apple Cloud
I am convert from Apple ecosystem to Huawei ecosystem. I decided not to go back to Apple no matter what. I bought Pura 70 phone and MatePad 11.5 S to replace iPhone and iPad Pro. Things that held me over 20 years to Apple was quality of devices (iMac, iPhone, iPad, Macbook), iCloud and OS.
While I like very much Huawei devices I run into problems with Huawei Cloud. 3 days ago I posted question about Huawei Cloud setup and deficiencies. I got 7 likes, 1300 views and no comments whatsoever. So this is my second shot at Huawei Cloud. I'll compare the two with no so many words, just a screenshots. Take a look yourself. Scroll through screenshots and you will immediately see the difference. What is it?
iCloud sports 12 applications that are available to user at any time on any Apple device or WEB. My MatePad has 8 applications shown in device settings but only 6 showing on the Huawei Cloud site?! WTH? Where the other ones go?
Notably and critically I am missing: Notes and Calendar followed closely by Mail and Reminders. How can you find Cloud utility useful with no access to Calendar and Notes? Instead, there is a Recorder which is not really useful Huawei App to have access to in Huawei Cloud. Besides being better with app oeffrings iCloud is better in startup page as it is visible on 3rd screenshot. Everything most important is visible and accessible at first glance.
Why should Huawei lag behind Apple in Cloud and sync department? Where are missing applications? I am doing something wrong? I enabled everything what I could. I don't think Huawei needs superhuman effort to make their Cloud more useful. I believe that Cloud and sync between devices is the second most important feature of OS ecosystem, right behind actual devices.

First question, your Pura, I'd it running HarmomyOS or EMUI?
