Apple Raises iCloud+ Prices in 8 Countries

[MacRumors]

Apple has increased the price of iCloud+ in Nigeria, Türkiye, Vietnam, Japan, Egypt, New Zealand, the Philippines, and Indonesia, according to an updated version of its iCloud support document.

Price increases range from 11 percent to 55 percent depending on the plan and the country. Nigeria saw the biggest hike, and a 50GB plan is now ₦1,300, up from ₦900. Türkiye saw the next largest increase, with a 50GB plan priced at 49.99 TL, up from 39.99 TL.

Apple has likely adjusted pricing due to currency fluctuations. The Japanese Yen has weakened over the past year, for example, and the dollar is up almost 10 percent against the yen. The Turkish Lira has also depreciated, increasing the value of the U.S. dollar.

A full list of price changes can be found on Apple's iCloud website. U.S. pricing has not changed, nor has pricing in any other country not listed above.

All Apple Accounts receive 5GB of free iCloud storage. Apple's iCloud+ plans give users extra storage, as well as perks like Hide My Email, HomeKit Secure Video, and iCloud Private Relay.

Will be waiting for adjustment after AI blows up and RAM will cost 25 cents. Curious to see how that one will go.

Good for them. I hate seeing the little guy lose more and more margin. They deserve to keep the same margins regardless of any cost to the rest of us. We should suffer so they don't have to.

pricing for cloud storage, regardless of who offers it, has only 1 way to go: UP.

I don’t think they keep all iCloud storage in RAM. 😉

5GB, how generous! I use half of that just for some browser tabs.

Even iPhones come with more than twice that in RAM. 5GB is absolutely pathetic in 2026.

This is in regards to "adjustment".

(Why the native term for "Türkiye" exclusively?)

(Why the native term for "Türkiye" but the English term for all the others?)

Guess 🙂

Starting a gofundme for APPL later. I can't stand to see them struggling like this. Public greed has led them to raising prices on almost everything. We should all be ashamed and help them.

Because it's Türkiye in English as well now

Can’t wait for the EU to let me use google as the cloud for the photos app.

 

[turbineseaplane]

😡😡😡 Bring back the 4TB iCloud option. 😡😡😡😡 Thats such a dick move to force us to go from 2TB to 6TB and pay $20 more per month.

I just checked, I'm using 1.2GB right now ... cloud storage (in general) is optional, not needed if one doesn't want to

good for you 💪🏽

5GB of free storage from Apple is just too generous.

 

[Radeon85]

What are you talking about?

You know exactly what I’m talking about, 5GB of storage for iCloud backups is pathetic in 2026.

Keep in mind that 5GB was introduced at the end of 2011 with the iPhone 4S, so Apple have not given you any extra storage increases for 15 years!

Because it's Türkiye in English as well now

So do we call Spain Espania? Italy Italia, Germany Deutschland. No. Plus there’s no such letter as ü in the English language. As far as the English speaking world it’s Turkey.

Their government asked and people were like: “okay, no problem” and nothing really changed in the world
