6TB and 12TB tiers now available for iCloud users
Last week, during Apple’s special event, the company announced new storage tiers for iCloud. Users will have the option of choosing between two additional iCloud+ plans, one with 6TB of storage and the other with 2TB of storage. Previously, the maximum iCloud storage option available was 2TB.
These are now all the iCloud+ subscription options:
50GB: $0.99/month 200GB: $2.99/month 2TB: $9.99/month 6TB: $29.99/month 12TB: $59.99/monthAccording to Apple, the new tiers are a “perfect complement” for owners of the latest iPhones, which can take 48-megapixel ProRAW photos. A single image in this format can weigh around 75MB. The new storage tiers are also great for people who constantly shoot 4K video with their iPhone.
Unfortunately, the free version of iCloud still only offers 5GB of storage. When you pay for iCloud storage, you also get access to iCloud+ features such as iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, Custom Email Domain, Family Sharing, and HomeKit Secure Video.
How to upgrade
In order to upgrade your iCloud plan, go to the iCloud settings on your Apple device running the latest versions of iOS or macOS, and then look for the Manage Storage option. You can find more details about iCloud+ on the Apple website.
