To address your points: -- I am aware iCloud is no backup solution and am not using it as such. My iCloud photo archive is more a portable, shareable portfolio. -- I am also aware that I could turn off iCloud access completely, but that's not what I'm asking. -- Finally, I have around 500 images in my iCloud "portfolio" atm, and will keep a maximum several hundred from day-to-day snapshots until I delete them or move them from the phone. | |

You can keep this turned off in Settings so these photos are not synced to your device. How many photos do you want to keep on your iPhone? | |
