> Most of the people in developing countries don't need IDEs
Most people in general, I would say. I haven’t tried JetBrains editors in a while, and the “developing country” definition is very unclear in my opinion (and also part of why I roll my eyes at the “what about developing countries?” argument sometimes), but I do think the yearly price looks good for WebStorm at least, as someone living in Colombia.
For reference, at the time of writing, the standard Netflix plan costs 26,900 COP a month, which ends up being 322,800 COP yearly. Meanwhile, WebStorm’s first year comes at 298,541.10 COP post USD -> COP conversion - it isn’t an insignificant sum, but if it offers significant added value, I think it’s a fair price, certainly better than the Netflix pricing. The second year is reduced to 237,967.54 COP, and the third to 177,393.99 COP - that last one is even less than what you’d pay for the Netflix basic plan over a year (202,800 COP).
I'm always using that on roaming data! Even then, Google Maps happily blows through hundreds of megabytes of photos within a couple of minutes of browsing for restaurants, probably for all the high-res photos in the reviews...
On iPhone you can set Low Data mode for all cellular data (and also for specific wifi networks).
She might have kept tapping Sync at the bottom of Photos even though iOS itself pauses it when in Low Data mode. iCloud Photos and video syncing is a data killer if you're on a holiday abroad, my wife takes hundreds of photos and videos a day, imagine what it does to data.
