iCloud 6TB and 12TB Storage Plans
Cupertino, CA — September 12, 2023
During its iPhone 15 event on September 12, 2023, Apple made a major announcement about its iCloud plans, unveiling new, higher storage options for users.
iCloud Storage Current Plans
Until now, individual iCloud accounts were limited to a maximum of 2 TB storage, priced at $9.99/month, 200GB for $2.99/month and 50GB for $0.99/month.
The New iCloud+ Storage Plans
However, starting from September 18, Apple will introduce 6 TB and 12 TB plans, accommodating a greater amount of personal photos, videos, documents, and data.
Nevertheless, these expanded storage tiers come with a significant increase in price. For users in the United States, the 6 TB plan of iCloud+ will be available at $29.99 per month, while the 12 TB plan will cost $59.99 per month.
Furthermore, just like other iCloud+ plans, the storage can be shared among up to six people through Family Sharing. On top of the increased storage options, these plans include all the other features of iCloud+, such as iCloud Private Relay, HomeKit Secure Video, and more. Additionally, it remains uncertain whether these tiers can be combined with an Apple One Premier subscription to add an additional 2 TB storage, potentially providing a total storage allocation of 14 terabytes. While the new storage tiers may seem expensive, they do address the needs of users who have already exhausted their previous maximum allocation of 4 TB (2 TB iCloud + 2 TB from Apple One). You can subscribe to these larger iCloud plans starting from Monday, September 18.

Closing Remarks
