So what are you waiting for? Head to Settings on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac and upgrade to the new iCloud+ 200GB or 2TB storage plan today. Your digital clutter will thank you, and your wallet will too.
Apple Introduces New iCloud+ Storage Tiers
If you're tired of constantly having to delete photos, apps, and other files from your iPhone to free up storage space, Apple's new iCloud+ storage plans are here to help. Announced today, Apple is introducing two new reasonably-priced storage tiers so you can keep more of your digital life in iCloud.
The new 50GB plan gives you enough room for essential backups and syncs across your Apple devices for only 99 cents a month. For most users, though, the ideal option is probably the 200GB plan which provides plenty of space for photos, videos, documents, and more for just $2.99 per month. That's less than a streaming music subscription and gives you four times the storage of the previous 50GB plan for the same price.
So if you're tired of micromanaging your iPhone's storage or paying for multiple cloud storage services, give the new iCloud+ storage plans a try. For a few dollars a month, you'll get a simple solution to backup, sync and share your data across all your Apple gadgets. And with the additional privacy features, iCloud+ provides great value for any iPhone or Mac user looking to enhance their digital security and convenience.

Apple surprised us with two new iCloud+ storage plans today, and the pricing is pretty appealing. For just a few bucks a month, you can get a serious storage upgrade.
Comparing iCloud+ Plans and Pricing
Apple recently announced two new iCloud+ storage plans with lower pricing. Here's how the plans and pricing compare:
iCloud+ 50GB - $0.99/month
This is the new entry-level plan, perfect if you just need a bit of extra space for photos, files, and backups. 50GB gives you enough room for essentials without paying for more than you need.
iCloud+ 200GB - $2.99/month
The mid-tier option at 200GB is ideal if you have an iPhone and iPad and want space to store photos, videos, documents, and device backups. This plan replaces the previous 200GB plan at a lower $2.99/month price.
iCloud+ 2TB - $9.99/month
For $9.99/month, the 2TB plan provides plenty of storage for an entire family's worth of photos, videos, files, and more. If you max out the 200GB plan frequently or have lots of 4K video and RAW photos, 2TB is a great choice. This plan also replaces the previous 2TB at $19.99/month, cutting the price in half.
No matter which plan you choose, you'll get the same iCloud+ features like iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, and HomeKit Secure Video support. Your storage plan is shared between all your Apple devices, so you can access files, photos, and backups from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and online at icloud.com.
If you need more than 2TB, you can still opt for the 10TB plan at $9.99/month to $19.99/month based on how much storage you want. iCloud+ pricing for the new plans is effective immediately for new subscribers.
