Apple has increased iCloud+ subscription prices in eight countries, marking another round of pricing changes after recent increases for Macs, iPads, Apple Music, and iPhones in Japan. The latest adjustments affect users in Nigeria, Türkiye, Vietnam, Japan, Egypt, New Zealand, the Philippines, and Indonesia, while pricing remains unchanged in the United States, and most other regions.
The updated pricing appears to be driven primarily by currency fluctuations rather than changes to iCloud+ itself. Apple has not announced any new features alongside the increase, and subscribers will continue to receive the same storage tiers and benefits, including Private Relay, Hide My Email, Custom Email Domain, and HomeKit Secure Video support depending on the selected plan.
The biggest increases include:
- Nigeria sees the largest increase, with the 50GB plan rising from ₦900 to ₦1,300, an increase of roughly 44%.
- Türkiye’s 50GB plan increases from 39.99 TL to 49.99 TL.
- Price increases across the affected countries range from approximately 11% to 55%, depending on the storage tier and region.
- The affected countries are Nigeria, Türkiye, Vietnam, Japan, Egypt, New Zealand, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
- No changes have been announced for customers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, or most European markets.
Every Apple Account continues to include 5GB of free iCloud storage. Paid iCloud+ subscriptions are available in storage tiers ranging from 50GB to 12TB, depending on the region. In addition to additional cloud storage for photos, files, and device backups, iCloud+ includes premium privacy features such as Private Relay, Hide My Email, Custom Email Domain support, and HomeKit Secure Video.
The iCloud+ adjustment follows a busy day of price changes from Apple. The company also increased Apple Music subscription prices in several countries, raised Apple One Family and Premier bundle pricing in the United States, and increased iPhone prices in Japan after previously raising Mac and iPad prices in multiple markets.
While Apple has not officially explained the iCloud+ increases, the company has previously cited market conditions and rising costs for other pricing adjustments. In this case, weakening local currencies against the U.S. dollar are widely believed to be the primary reason behind the latest changes.
