Apple has increased the price of its iCloud+ subscriptions in eight countries, meaning some users will now pay significantly more for additional cloud storage and premium iCloud features.
The price changes affect Nigeria, Türkiye, Vietnam, Japan, Egypt, New Zealand, the Philippines and Indonesia, according to Apple’s updated iCloud pricing pages. The company hasn’t announced any changes elsewhere for now, with pricing in the UK, US and most other regions remaining unchanged.
The biggest increase comes in Nigeria, where the entry-level 50GB iCloud+ plan now costs ₦1,300 per month, up from ₦900 – an increase of around 44%. Türkiye has also seen a notable rise, with the same 50GB tier climbing from 39.99 TL to 49.99 TL.
Overall, Apple has raised prices by between 11% and 55%, although the exact increase varies by country and subscription tier.
Apple hasn’t explained the changes, but they’re likely linked to currency fluctuations rather than new features. For example, the Japanese yen has weakened considerably against the US dollar over the past year. In addition, the Turkish lira has continued to lose value. Adjusting regional subscription prices helps Apple maintain more consistent pricing across global markets.
For anyone already paying for iCloud+, the increase means higher monthly costs for services that have otherwise remained unchanged. In spite of this, Apple continues to bundle extra storage with features including Hide My Email, Private Relay, Custom Email Domains, HomeKit Secure Video support and the ability to share subscriptions with family members.
The move doesn’t affect Apple’s free storage allowance. Every Apple Account still includes 5GB of iCloud storage at no extra cost. However, that amount is unlikely to stretch very far for anyone backing up multiple devices or storing large photo and video libraries.
Apple also hasn’t announced any changes to iCloud+ itself alongside the price increase. This suggests this is purely a regional pricing adjustment rather than the introduction of new subscription tiers or additional features.
Anyone subscribed to iCloud+ in one of the affected countries should see the updated pricing reflected in their next billing cycle. On the other hand, prospective subscribers can find the latest regional pricing on Apple’s iCloud website.
