Apple just announced new iCloud pricing coming soon to compliment a ton of new cloud features unveiled for iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite today.
The new pricing starts with the same free 5GB for all users and introduces a new 20GB for $1/month tier as well as a 200GB for $4/month tier. Currently Apple offers 5GB for free and charges $20.00 for an extra 10GB, $40 for an extra 20GB, or $100 for 50GB per month.
Apple didn’t say exactly when it would be flipping the switch on the new prices, but it did confirm that tiers up to 1TB will be available under its new pricing scheme.

you mislead readers. 50$ isn’t per month. its this: monthly 50GB usage costy 100$ per year. Its been tight on my three iPads and 2 iPhones.
you’re absolutely right, it is misleading
What is misleading? It makes sense to me, all monthly pricing stated in header.
On any case this new pricing structure compits directly with google drive! Great! It was time !
while i understand the one dollar model, lots of money and sense of cheapness, i would like it for free.. just because it seems… cheap
Can anyone shed light on the larger file tiered prices? I’m expecting to at least use 200GB and probably can find a reason to use 500GB eventually. I’m absolutely welcoming the larger space…and want to know the prices for those.
200GB will be $3.99 a month as stated above. The next option is 1TB which they have not announced pricing yet.
Pls clarify, the monthly payment for the 200Gb , would it stop after a year and then I have the 200gb for life. Or would the monthly debit continue forever?
