The standard iCloud storage variants that Apple’s new service and content bundle One brings with it should not be sufficient for many users. In the case of the single-user package, 15, 95 Euro only 50 GByte with – too little for a fully occupied new iPhone 12 in its smallest version secure. For the family package to 17, 95 Euro are at least 100 GByte, but up to six people have to be together divide. With the single-user package, Apple only adds the cheapest iCloud package to One, which normally costs EUR 0 99 for which 200 GByte from the family package would be without One 2, 99 Euro due.

Buy iCloud storage space – but without any discount As is now shown in a support document that has so far only been updated in English, Apple has forbearance with One subscribers who need a little more cloud space: They can if desired namely also upgrade. However, you don’t save a cent, you simply pay the normal iCloud tariffs on top of it. In practice this means: 100 GByte storage space including one for the single place costs for example 15, 94 Euro, one in single place with 2050 GByte 24,94 Euro. Additionally 200 GByte, i.e. in total 250 GByte, would be 17, 94 Euro. For the family package, in turn 0, 99 Euro (plus 50 GByte), 2, 99 Euro (plus 200 GByte) or 9, 99 Euro ( plus 2 TB).

A maximum of 4 Tbytes is possible – but not with us In the USA there is also the Premier Package as a third Apple One bundle. In addition to iCloud storage of 2 TByte, Apple Music, Apple Arcade and Apple TV +, this also provides the news and magazine service News + as well as the Fitness + sports videos. 29, 94 Apple wants US dollars for this. With the 9, 99 dollars for another 2 TByte you get 39, 94 dollars per month. The maximum possible iCloud storage space with Apple One is 4 TB. Otherwise Premier corresponds to the family package, i.e. six users can be registered.

Not entirely uncomplicated procedure Apple One started at the end of last week. The service can be tested free of charge for a month, but only those services that the user does not currently have, the rest continues to run normally (and paid for). If you already have paid iCloud storage space, it will continue to run normally in the trial month; then, if it does not differ in size from the one in One, it will be switched for free. The same applies to smaller tariffs – money may be given back. If, on the other hand, your own iCloud storage space is larger than that of Apple One, both are combined. Here you have to cancel the iCloud storage space if necessary.
