Ondrej Holzman Apple last week alongside new hardware news introduced also a new pricing policy for your iCloud storage. We will pay for at least 50 GB, and overall prices have decreased. However, users still only have 5 GB in the base, i.e. free.
Until now, Apple offered 20 GB (€0,99/month), 200 GB (€3,99), 500 GB (€9,99) and 1 TB (€19,99) on iCloud for an additional fee. IN new menu we can find 0,99 GB capacity for €27 (50 crowns) per month, 2,99 GB for €81 (200 crowns) per month and the entire 9,99 TB for €271 (1 crowns) per month.
The transition to the new plans will happen with the launch of iOS 9, which is scheduled for today, Wednesday, September 16. Users who have already purchased an iCloud plan before this date will be automatically transferred to the new rates.
50GB per ecko per month is great. I have already bought 20GB, mostly for backups. 50GB will now be just icing on the cake and the cloud drive will be fully used for data.
Cool. They should only give the base like 5 GB for each registered device. It would not decrease and it would make more sense - an ordinary user would not be "punished" for being loyal to the brand and having more of those devices on his account. And let it have 5 GB for each new device (when upgrading to a newer model) - why not make such people happy.
That's fine, but I have 130 GB on OneDrive for CZK 0. So I think Apple should grab its nose and offer at least 50GB for free, 100 for €1, etc...
Hello apple lovers. I have an iPhone and I have a lot of photos, but I often change Apple devices, is there any advice on where to download the photos automatically, or somewhere other than iCloud? Because with every new device (iP upgrade) I always lose the previous photos in the given iP, I forgot to save them on iclouud, or only a part is saved. So, if I understand it correctly, I will save space on the phone and it will be stored centrally on some disk? Thanks for the explanation noum ;-)
My solution is OneDrive from MS (app on iPhone), I take photos, come home on Wifi and they are automatically backed up to the cloud. Then I can view them on my PC, share them, delete them...
Exactly, I'm going to the 6s plus, but I will continue to use the cloud from MS OneDrive because iCloud is not competitive with 5GB free versus 130GB free and automatic backups, web Office, etc.
Unfortunately, it is still quite expensive.
Please advise, yesterday I bought 20 GB via ipad tech for one euro, Apple took my money (over 50 CZK), but then nothing happens. I still have 5 GB, is there a contact in CZ where I can claim it?
Try signing out of iCloud and signing in again.
Unfortunately it didn't help, but thank you :(.
It is only a matter of verification, the money is not taken away, but only blocked on your card, which means that in a few days it will be removed from the block and it will be available to you again. In the EU, apple blocks approx. 2 EUR, i.e. over 50 CZK. More https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201292
Otherwise, call Apple Support
It's nice, but most people only have this space for photos more or less, and that's where Apple is really expensive. Why pay when you can get Google Photos for free - unlimited . Yes, there is a "limitation" of 15 MB per picture and video in FULL HD, but who has bigger pictures or videos? Most people don't save in RAW and don't print on billboards... That's how it is for me personally, I moved all my albums there, I only save new photos there and the basic 5 GB free on iCloud is more or less still empty, there are only a few documents from Pages. In this, Google is really ahead, even if I am otherwise an "apple" in everything.
I would be worried about those photos on google...
I wouldn't like my wife to appear on a billboard
I do not. Paradoxically, only Apple has had the only problem with hacked accounts and photos so far. :-) But of course nothing is 100%.
He doesn't mean a hacker, but your photos should be used in a Google campaign ;-).
How will it be if I use iOS 9 on my iPhone and not on my iPad? Will the iPad react somehow to the fact that I should have 50 gigabytes?
These are iCloud services, so of course both iPad and iPhone will use 50GB capacity, regardless of whether you have iOS9 on both or not.
Except that I didn't get 50 gigabytes on either device, both have 20 and the 50 is not even in the menu... :-/
Apparently, only when the month that you have prepaid for another capacity has passed. It just fine on the new values.
if I understand correctly, with the annual plan, the conditions will only change after the annual cycle is closed? aren't the subscribers a bit beat up?
