MacRumors said:


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+ SubscriptionPrevious UK PriceNew 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.

Because a $3 Trillion market value isn’t enough 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
 
Apple lock in is going to bite them. It works until it doesn't.

I replaced my mac with windows laptop because I wanted 32GB RAM for normal money.
Then I couldn't figure out how to send a file from iPhone to PC... so... I dumped iPhone and went to Samsung. Setting up Android was 2 days of pain, but now I think it is better than iOS (Google Assistant, torrent, proper full fat firefox, full windows integration) and it plays nice with cheap OneDrive storage.

I kept iCloud for backup for the kids' phones, but that's going now.

I'm left with a HomePod and an ancient ipad to control it. But as the HomePod won't work with Windows or Android it's just a matter of time...

And that’s how competition works. If enough people think and act like you do, Apple will change course to respond.
 
Most companies increase the amount of storage and keep the price the same, Apple just likes to be different.
ive only just got the notification that mine is going up from £6.99 to £8.99/ month so looked here to find everyone else already knew…
we have three iPads and two iPhones so are a captive audience, I use OneDrive and google drive to back up my photos as well, which, hopefully, covers me if something goes wrong with one of them, but I like the ease of iCloud , o take snaps on my phone and they just appear on my iPad, it’s simple.
So we just have to put up with whatever increase they throw at us I guess.
have fun all!
