I had the 55GB plan for $100 a month which renewed on the 8th (Yeah, two days ago). Just called apple and they refunded me the $100 and switched me over to the 200GB plan for $3.99 a month.

Huge savings for a lot more storage. That must feel good
 
5GB definitely isn't enough for all of my nude pics.

When's your birthday again? And what was your favourite childhood pet? It's..uh...research for my book. Definitely not trying to get into your account. No way, no sir.
 
Payment options?

Does anyone know if you can pay by deduction from your iTunes account balance or do you have to give Apple a credit card.
 
Just got my email. Interesting that they're not putting me on a plan that now exists, but instead adjusting the price to the plan I was on.

Slowly getting there but I'm not biting yet.
Also, they want us to put more information on their cloud service. The one that leaked recently? Bit of bad timing that.
 
Got my email

And without any intervention on my part, I got my email this morning saying they have prorated my current subscription and made it $11.99 a year ongoing for the extra 20gb. Splendid.

The "upgraded storage plan" is a bit misleading, as it suggests I got upgraded when really it's just a reduction in the amount I pay each year for more than the 5gb free storage.

We recently announced new, more affordable iCloud storage plans. As a thank you for being a current iCloud storage plan subscriber, we’ve upgraded your storage plan and you will be receiving a refund based on the reduced plan price.
Your plan has been upgraded from 25 GB of total storage at $40.00 a year to 25 GB at just $11.99 a year. You will receive a prorated refund of $23.87, which is based on the price reduction and the remaining months on your subscription. On July 17, 2015 this 25 GB plan will automatically renew and you will be charged $11.99.

I just called the main US number listed at this page:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

Selected iPhone then told the person that I wanted to speak to someone in iCloud billing. Took about 5 minutes and that was it, very easy!

Thanks. I was ready to call this morning, but woke up to an email that prorated and switched me over to the lower price ongoing.
 
You're just playing with words and not worth my time debating with you. Bottom line is twice as much could never be seen as slightly more. I will not engage with you further.

I'm playing with words? I'm not the one obsessing over what "slightly" means. And I already gave an example of when slightly and twice as much were the same thing.
 
i'll just keep using the service that is the most convenient for me to use.

at the moment it was/is dropbox. will have to see how yosemite and ios8 change that.

don't need alot of space and don't care to save a few dollars.


at the moment i got more space on dropbox than i can fit on my macbooks SSD...
 
Okay, I was charged $20.00 on August 28 for my plan which was the old 10 GB (15 including the free 5 everyone gets) for $20/year. Now when I log into iCloud, it shows that I'm at 20 GB for $10.99/year. WTH? I was my $9.01 back or I want more storage! This is all very frustrating. Now I haven't checked through all my email yet this morning so maybe I have an email from them so I guess I should do that first before trying to call.

Edit: Checked my email and I too got a prorated refund. It says I have been "upgraded" from a total of 15 GB at $20.00/year to 20 GB at just $10.99/year. So NOW my question is do I have 20 total or 20 plus the free 5? I'm thinking I just have 20 total as that's what shows on my phone now. When I upgrade phones in a week I might need to increase that amount!

Does anyone know if they'll support encrypted TimeMachine backup of your whole hard drive to iCloud? Or at the very least, does iCloud support accessing older versions of documents?
 
I upgraded my icloud on the 18/08/14, to 15GB for
I called apple re another issue and enquired re increased storage to 20GB and a pro-rated refund, they denied both; they said this may only be happening in the USA.

Anyone from the UK received an email from apple re rebate and increase in storage as apple representative (he checked with icloud support/after sales support and new sales) told me this is not official????
 
I also just got an upgrade email. My plan was set to expire September 30th, so my refund was basically nil. I'm wondering, did anyone figure out how to upgrade the yearly option to something higher? So far if I click upgrade it only gives me the monthly options.

Anyways if seems like the yearly option does save me a few bucks. I save $2.89 a year with a yearly plan. :eek:

The 55GB plan pricing was $100 a year not per month. ;)

Wait a second...in which universe is $20 slightly more that $10? Was that a "let's see who notices it" joke?

You're kind of late to this party.
 
still trying to understand what exactly is iCloud Drive. from i get reading the website, it's like Drop Box but it doesn't say you can put any type of file on there.

example, say i wanted to dump a 10GB MKV movie into my iCloud Drive account. it wouldn't accept those types of files right?
 
I'd love to put all of my pictures in iCloud. Family, kids and scenery. I dunno, I have to think about it... Thus far I've only used iCloud for some email, calendars, contacts and phone backups with photos and other turned off.
