I want 5gb per device

Each purchase of a new device from Apple should increase iCloud storage by 5 GB. For example, if you own an iPhone, a MacBook and an iMac, you're iCloud account is 15 GB.

Considering the premium prices paid for Apple products, this is only fair.

ABSOLUTELY agree and I am surprised more people haven't complained about this issue. I own three apple devices (as we all know, apple products are very expensive) and each should come with 5 gb per device.

I do not agree, because you're not limited to 5GB of space. You can buy up to 55GB of space on icloud. Apple is just trying to make money, as well they do on every other product the make and sell. Apple will never be cheap, and if you want more then 5GB, then man up and pay the whole $20 a year. That's not even $2 a month, and with that, you will have 10GB on each one of your devices. I do not see what the problem is Sir, you spend $600-$800 on your iphone and you're trying to tell me you can not come up with $2-$5 a month for icloud.

each should come with 5 gb per device.

Feedback for Apple goes here >>> http://www.apple.com/feedback/

This is a user to user community, Apple are unlikely to read your comments, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.

Anyone else feel this way?

I am afraid I don't. Associating your storage with the device rather than your account will cause problems. For a start, what would happen when you sold the device to another and bought a new one.

Well, as you said, you can't expect Apple to keep giving free 5GB space for every device you buy that's under the same iCloud account. If you have that many devices and that much data, they do offer the space upgrade for a price. Same as most other storage businesses - like Dropbox. I don't think there's anything to correct. Apple has determined its business model.

Apple aren't here. You can send feedback directly to them here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

However, you can easily purchase more storage for your iCloud account, (same as you can for every other cloud storage provider - Dropbox, Google Drive, Sugar Sync, SkyDrive, etc. all provide a set amount free, and more for money) which is shared among all your devices, not limited to a set amount per device.

Sharing the total amount among all devices is preferable as you may have 10GB that needs backing up on one of your devices, but only 5GB on another device. Why set a hard limit of 5GB per device if you've bought 20GB total storage?

Of course, everybody wants everything for free these days, but think about what the whole iCloud service is already providing you for free. It's not just 5GB of storage. There's also push email, contact, calendar, notes, reminders, bookmarks syncing, Find my iPhone, Find my Mac, Back to my Mac, iOS device backup. What other service offers you all that for free, and then you still want more?

I agree. If you buy you should get 5 per device . When they sold it they expected to give away 5 gb. And really it's not giving away it advertise when product is sold. 2$ a month is cheap I agree but it's not the money it's the principal

Apple gives a service for free, just like DropBox, EverNote, and many others. If a user needs additional service, then they pay - that's how these services make money. Apple is no different.

I was initially thinking the same way since iCloud is so integrated into device backup. But then I thought about services like Google docs or Gmail. Your disk quota on these services are irrelevant to how many Android devices you own. The are separate services that you can leverage on your devices.

I still think that Apple should have one time usable codes with each iOS device sold for 1 year of added storage. Yet my iPad doesn't actually use much of my iCloud space. Perhaps this is due to few apps storing their state online. It is also because I would rather store important data on more reliable services than Apple's. But for now, I am quite far from filling up my quota.

Perhaps another reason for this is that I have an Android phone which has better integration with services like Google Music and Amazon Mp3. There really is no reason for me to store large files on iCloud. I would even suggest that no one tie themselves up with Apple storage because they lack competitive pressure to get them to improve their cloud services. iCloud is wonderfully implemented for app state backup and device backup, but it doesn't seem to make much sense to me to use it for storing anything else when you can use other options.

I completely agree with FishPod! We have had an iPhone and now bought an iPad mini but very disappointed as iPhone camera roll has taken most of iCloud space now I cannot use the same Apple ID to backup iPad mini camera roll! Haven't Apple made money selling the additional device?

I totally agree with this post and wanted to complain the same!

As stated, the amount of money you pay per device must provide such storage. Don't forget that you have the right to create an additional account and have that 5GB for the new device, and with that Apple will give me the additional space on the second account, but that would screw the idea of having everything everywhere! SO why don't they add it for the amount of devices I own?!!!

Do we get punished for buying more apple devices?! and now every time I open my iPhone or iPad I'm doomed to watch the not enough space for backup? only backup! I don't synch my photos or use any additional iCloud support. Backing my devices up is not happenning due to storage limitation! What?! should I decrease the storage of my devices instead?!

I demand larger storage and I believe its something Apple must provide.

oh and thank you for the feedback link people!

I agree with you FishPod. I just wrote feedback about iCloud. Apple should provide at least 5Gb per device for one account. So how many devices you have logged in for your acount that much iStorage you would get. It is very reasonable, not hard to provide and nice complimentary. I own 4 aplle products, I do not feel that apple appreciate that I am supporting them by buying their products. So It dismotivate me on buying other devices.

Chinese cloud on qq offers 10Tb to their users, I do not believe that apple cannot provide at least 5 Gb per device.

Use that then if it suits your needs better.

What some Chinese company does has absolutely no bearing on what Apple does.

It is very reasonable

What you are already given by Apple for free with iCloud (push email, contact, calendar, notes, reminders, bookmarks syncing, Find my iPhone, Find my Mac, Back to my Mac, iOS device backup) is already beyond "reasonable".

If you can afford multiple devices, surely you can afford the storage too? Apple aren't a charity. Stop being a free-loader.
