Tangent but does anyone else find iCloud sync random / slow?

The smart thing about having both an iPhone and a Macbook should potentially be; snap a bunch of photos, instantly have them available on the computer - but no. Apple apparently chooses a random time depending on 100 factors to upload the photos in the next 30 minutes to 7 days.

So you often have to airdrop a bunch of photos files completely invalidating the purpose of the sync function.
