I'm also pretty impressed with the 'Over the Years' and 'Your Story' vignettes that my iPhone periodically creates, which was probably developed in direct response to that realisation that people take an incredible number of pictures (I know I do, especially since kids..) and very rarely actually consume them in any meaningful way.
I just wish it wouldn't select pictures of my ex-gf so often :/ Should probably delete them, but.. nostalgia.
I'd just save the ones I didn't want to see somewhere else not on the phone. That way, the ones that are good memories can stay, and the ones that aren't can just go.
I love these features, but am absolutely flabbergasted that Apple removed the ability to turn off the music that plays when you view the memory slideshow! It's not on-device music, it's not any sort of music that I chose, it's just some Apple-chosen soundtrack that I absolutely do not want, yet the only option is to turn my volume all the way down. I would label it hostile design.
