Apple has continued to put the prices up for its online services, with iCloud+<\/a> rising in cost in a number of territories. <\/p>\n

Over the course of a few days, Apple has been increasing the prices of its various online services<\/a>. Not to be left behind, iCloud+ has now upped its prices to join the rest of the roster. <\/p>\n

The change, revealed by Apple’s iCloud+ pricing support page<\/a>, doesn’t outright say what countries are affected by the pricing. However, comparisons with previous pricing, including via the Wayback Machine<\/a>, shows it affects eight countries in total. <\/p>\n

The affected countries, seeing higher iCloud pricing, include: <\/p>\n

Egypt
\nIndonesia
\nJapan
\nNew Zealand
\nNigeria
\nPhilippines
\nTurkiye
\nVietnam<\/p>\n

The price increases vary between territories, but fall in the range of 17% to 30%. For example, the 50GB plan was 150 yen per month but is now 180 yen, up 20%. <\/p>\n

Pricing in other markets, including the United States and United Kingdom, remains unchanged. The perks of iCloud+ also hasn’t changed, including Hide My Email, iCloud Private Relay, a custom email domain, and HomeKit<\/a> Secure Video support. <\/p>\n

While Apple hasn’t explained why the prices have changed, it is most likely the company periodically accounting for changes in currency conversion. <\/p>\n

Other price upgrades this week include Apple One<\/a>, Apple Music<\/a>, and AppleCare+<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple has continued to put the prices up for its online services, with iCloud+ rising in cost in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":532349,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-532348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/532348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=532348"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/532348\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/532349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=532348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=532348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=532348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
