iPhone 13 Pro Max Now that we finally have the 1TB iphone 13 Pro, and 1 TB ipads - What about icloud?

Limit is 4tb, as you can get the Apple one subscription and additional 2tb for icloud stand alone for a total of 4tb
I would like Apple to drop the price of storage and allow people to infinitely just keep adding terabytes. Type in how many you need and Apple bills you appropriately. I don't want to jump from 2 to 4 terabytes. I just want Apple to up to me to 3TB when I hit the ceiling (which will be in about a year).
Give people 100TB if they want to pay for it but at today's TB pricing, no one will apple needs to re-think the pricing here.

Something like this sounds about right.
It's getting a bit ridiculous when for the last 2+ years Apple sells devices with lots of internal storage (MBPs: 8TB, iPads: 2TB, and now iPhones: 1TB), yet the max iCloud+ they're offering is 4TB (as an upsell to get people on their One sub (provided you live in the three countries that offer the top plan (due to News app being limited) – but what happens if you want 6TB or 8TB (or more)?
Remember, you've got to use the current 2 or 4TB limits for many things here: your iCloud Drive file storage, plus iDevice backups, plus iCloud Mail, plus apps that use it for their storage. That all add-up.
And while we're at it, I'd like to see Apple remove the 100K track limit in Music (both AM subs and iTunes Match subs) too for your own tracks... I have 98K tracks I own, and am going to be artificially restricted when I hit 100K, just to annoy me. Why not just get us to pay you Apple for the extra above this, instead of completely blocking Apple Music device sync when we hit the limit?? Frustrating.

Seems like Apple has a completely untapped revenue stream here, that could compete with the vanilla cloud services like Dropbox. Maybe they are waiting until phone sales start to stagnate again so they can pull it out as a Hail Mary for revenue.
I'm surprised to hear there's still a 100K track limit and now with Apple Music, it'll probably Never happen. I think Photos is still 250,000? I'm at 150,000 now so I'll have to create an archive photos library? Hmm, guess we'll cross that bridge in 5-10 years.
That really sucks that you're already up against the wall.
Another thing I was thinking and yet I haven't heard much about ProRes video. 1TB is 4 Hours of 4K, 30FPS ProRes or thereabouts. Will iCloud Photo Library actually attempt to upload 250 GBs of Video (1 hour) to Apple's servers? Or will those raw files stay local on the iPhone?
Imagine, new 1TB iPhone Pro, 50GB iCloud library at 99 cents a month 10 minutes of recording "you've reached the maximum for your storage" pretty bad user experience.
I keep seeing this, but not seeing how. I have Apple One, but it does not allow me to subscribe to iCloud. Is there something I'm missing?
