Apple recently doubled over their iCloud storage plan. They are now offering 2TB storage for the price of $9.99 as they had valued their earlier offering of 1TB storage space. The 1TB plan has been discontinued. The 50 GB plan is offered at $0.99 while those who subscribe for 200 GB iCloud storage space will have to pay $2.99.
With the rollout of iOS 11, the storage plans seem to be quite beneficial because now you can share your iCloud storage with your family members.
Apple users who are using the 50 GB plan for $0.99 would have to upgrade to their plan to either 200 GB or 2TB to be eligible to share their plans with their family members. The process of the upgrade is quite simple and once you select your plan you need to add the family members to use it. Here is how to add family members to a shared iCloud storage plan in iOS 11.
