iCloud is something that almost every Apple user ends up using. Apple iCloud offers a very low storage capacity for free, that is 5GB. This is the reason users have to opt for paid iCloud storage and now Apple has increased the prices for the iCloud+ storage in some countries around the world. The iCloud+ plans cost more in the UK, Poland, Turkey, and more. The reason behind this price hike might be the fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates. So now if you want additional storage on Apple devices, you will have to pay more in some countries.

iCloud+ Prices remain the same in India

India iCloud users can relax for now as Apple has not increased the price of storage in the country. Users in India can get up to 50GB storage for Rs. 75/month, 200GB at Rs. 219/month, and 2TB storage for Rs. 749/month. Apple has not increased its prices in the US as well.

Countries to get a price hike

The prices for Apple iCloud+ have increased by 25% in the UK. Some other countries where prices have hiked are Poland, Romania, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sweden, Tanzania, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.
