Apple Hikes iCloud+ Subscription Prices in Many Countries Around the World

[MacRumors]

Apple has increased the price of iCloud storage in several regions around the world, including the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South America.

Every Apple ID receives 5GB of free cloud storage, but users can upgrade to a paid iCloud+ storage subscription plan to get 50GB, 200GB, or 2TB of storage. The price hike, first spotted by 9to5Mac, represents an increase of around 25 percent.

iCloud+ Subscription	Previous UK Price	New UK Price
50GB	£0.79/month	£0.99/month
200GB	£2.49/month	£2.99/month
2TB	£6.99/month	£8.99/month

Similar increases have occurred in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Tanzania, South Africa, Colombia, Peru, Brazil. Pricing in the United States, Canada, and European Union remains the same.

All paid iCloud+ storage plans include features like iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, and Custom Email Domains.

Well, that's steep considering we should be getting 50GB for free.

 

[arkitect]

*sigh*
Oh well… good news for us in the UK once again. /s

I really wish Apple would introduce a tier between 200GB and 2TB.

I have too much for the 200GB and have loads of unused space on my 2TB plan.

5GB is a joke in 2023. It should be 5GB per device. Preferably 10.

This is by design. Classic upsell.

 

[Morod]

C'mon, Apple. No need to nickel and dime us.

When I was younger and naive I thought these services could only get cheaper while we as consumers would received more.
Now I'm an old man and recognize the capitalistic trap I fell into and just pay coz I'm so deeply entrenched 🥰

LETS GOOOOOO!

 

[Total Respray]

Apple showing its true colours again.

Why? People are buying anyway and Apple knows it.

If Apple is going to increase the prices. Apple needs to offer more iCloud storage.

We need more than 2TB for iCloud storage. It’s simply not enough. Why isn’t Apple offering more iCloud storage?

 

[Feek]

Is this just the storage plan or is it Apple One as well?

 

[Mr. Dee]

I think you are all forgetting that Apple is a struggling business that was on the brink of bankruptcy 26 years ago. Show some understanding, please!

 

[Spaceboi Scaphandre]

Another reason why I haven't nor will I ever pay for iCloud. What a joke of a service. 100gb of OneDrive storage is bundled with the $20 a year Microsoft Office 365 subscription.

 

[WiiDSmoker]

We need more than 2TB for iCloud. Why isn’t Apple offering more iCloud storage?

You can. Each additional 2 TB is $9.99

 

[boak]

GBP to USD is at a 15-month high. This is not just exchange rate adjustment.

 

[contacos]

@MR Sweden, Bulgaria, Romania and Denmark are in the European Union by the way I guess what you mean is "Pricing in the EURO zone remains the same"

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Also nowadays 5GB of iCloud storage gets you nothing.

 

[The Cockney Rebel]

Just like crack dealers, they get you hooked then start mixing things up .

 

[scheinderrob]

the base storage you get is such a joke, biggest robbery of all. apple should be fined a million dollars per user who has to subscribe to it.

 

[Spaceboi Scaphandre]

Also nowadays 5GB of iCloud storage gets you nothing.

Oh it gets you something. It gets you nonstop notifications on your Mac that your iCloud storage is full from iMessage chatlogs and constantly pressures you to subscribe.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Love coming to these threads and see people whining about 3 quid.

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

The new prices in Norway:



Apple One Family pricing stays at NOK 269/mnd.

 

[NewUsername]

Max is 4TB though, right? With Apple One

 

[dabi]

I was wondering if I should switch from Google Drive, but considering how bad the experience is on Windows, and now the price hike.. yeah, I think I'm good.

 

[contacos]

You would think it costs than more money having to deal with upset customers at the Apple Store complaining about loosing all their data because their pathetic free 5GB storage option wasn't enough to store their back up before they broke things
