No, it's not an iCloud subscription. I'm aware of my iCloud subscription which is 2.99 per month. As I mentioned, this was a monthly charge that did NOT appear in my Apple subscription list... (in other words, when I checked my Subscriptions associated with my Apple ID, which appear listed through the settings menu, I could see all my other purchases that entail monthly charges, and this was not listed.) Yet, for some reason, Apple.com was still billing my PayPal account (and not the credit card linked to my Apple or iTunes account) 0.99 per month. I've since blocked my PayPal account, but remain curious how this happened. What's even more odd is that the only details appearing on the receipt are "iTunes Apple Store" with the the 8002752273 telephone number and the apple.com website, but no description of what the charge is for, which seems inconsistent with usual Apple practices. So doesn't this appear to be something more likely fraudulent?

Looks like you have an iCloud subscription.

Please check -> Go to -> Settings -> your name -> iCloud -> if you see 50 GB (or 200 GB or 2 TB) then you have an iCloud subscription.

If you have an iCloud subscription, you will receive a monthly bill from Apple, check your email box.

You pay monthly for iCloud storage.


How to cancel it?!

See this Apple article: Downgrade or cancel your iCloud+ plan

Downgrade or cancel your iCloud+ plan - Apple Support (PH)

  • The iCloud + subscription will be terminated depending on the start date.
  • If you start on August 1 and are going to cancel now, the subscription will stop on November 1, a monthly term is used.
