Apple has increased the prices of its iCloud+ subscription plans in eight countries. The changes affect users in Nigeria, Türkiye, Vietnam, Japan, Egypt, New Zealand, the Philippines, and Indonesia. The updated prices appeared in Apple’s revised iCloud support document. However, the company has not announced any changes for other markets.
The increase depends on both the country and the storage plan. Overall, prices have gone up by 11 percent to 55 percent.
Nigeria recorded the biggest increase among the affected countries. The 50GB iCloud+ plan now costs ₦1,300 instead of ₦900. Meanwhile, users in Türkiye will now pay 49.99 TL for the 50GB plan, up from 39.99 TL.
Apple has not officially explained the reason behind the higher prices. However, the changes likely reflect currency movements in several markets.
For example, the Japanese Yen has weakened over the past year. At the same time, the U.S. dollar has gained almost 10 percent against the yen. Similarly, the Turkish Lira has continued to lose value, making the U.S. dollar stronger in comparison.
Apple has published the complete list of updated prices on its iCloud website. The company has not changed iCloud+ pricing in the United States. Prices also remain unchanged in countries not included in the latest update.
Every Apple account comes with 5GB of free iCloud storage. Users who subscribe to iCloud+ receive additional storage and several extra features. These include Hide My Email, HomeKit Secure Video, and iCloud Private Relay.
