The thing I detest the most is the weird tier that jumps from 200GB to 2TB. There’s no way to pay for incremental storage for 500GB or 1TB, which would be perfect for many families.

In today’s age where storage is a commodity, this ought to be priced per GB used.

That way they can subsidize the free tier

The free tier is 5gb which nearly grows on trees these days

It still costs money and corporations are expected to produce a profit by their shareholders

You can chuck as many 50GB increments on your 200GB if you need it.

Really? How? I can only jump from 50 GB to 200 GB when I look at the available plans

Actually I may be wrong there. I was on 200Gb with Apply Family but have stuck 50GB on top of that for £0.99 month.

I can only swap that out for a 200GB increment. This is weird because I'm sure you used to be able to do that.

Oh okey, I knew that sounded too good to be true.

I didn’t even get an option for 200GB increment.

That's weird, so you can only go from 5 GB -> 50 GB -> 2 TB?

Sorry, I meant I never got any additional increment options, even when I was at 200GB.

So I jumped 5, 50, 200, 2000.

Right, it's the same here. The poster clarified what they actually experienced.

You can stack the storage of your iCloud subscription on top of your Apple One subscription, once.

>After you subscribe to Apple One, you can buy more iCloud storage if you need more. With both Apple One and an iCloud+ plan, you can have up to 14TB of total iCloud storage.
