Why only 5gb space if owning more than one device?

Question

Why only 5gb space if owning more than one device?

I own 3 iphones and 2 ipads. Why only 5gb icloud space? I feel a bit ripped off here!

Each of these products should come with its own 5gb space.

5 gb. Is only enough for backup of one device!

Sure you can get 5gb space for each product if you create account for each product and then having to pay for apps for each product. Its a total ripoff:(

Change this please.

Forcing me to in some way pay 50 bucks extra a year for security backup space is not fair in any way. I would actually pay for extra space for pictures etc. If i did not feel that apple were trying to take even more money from my wallet:/

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.3

Every device does have own 5 gig if they have own apple id. You can create as many apple id's as you want. I highly doubt that you are using three iphones by yourself, just create separate apple id's. And if you want convenience of having all of those on one apple id, do you think that apple in that business not to make money?

Look around and think again.

-Use a separated Apple ID for each iPhone for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.

-Use the current one for iTunes and App Stores. (This way you will pay ones for each app).

-Export your Camera Roll to a Computer just like you do with a Digital Camera Card. (This way you will save space from iCloud and from devices.

-Use one of these 3 account to sync your iPads with the account you want or make a 4th or 5th account if you don't want to sync iCloud data with one of you iPhones.

Remind that you can add more than one iCloud account (secondary account) if you want to sync some data from iCloud. (For example you can sync your iPhone Contacts in your iPad even if you are using another iCloud account (primary) in this iPad).

Also you can share a calendar between devices that using a different iCloud account.

Oh boy... I though i was an apple fan by from the looks some more than others. (Here should be a picture of the 3 monkeys. Not hear not see not listen)

Yes i use all phones.

Look what i wrote earlier... Dont you think apple made enough money allready? Besides products, cables that should come with products, 30 % in apple store that makes them turn blind eye to app store turning d.b.i.a.p. Destroyed by inn app purchase. Parants ending up with 1000$ Smurf berries because they set aside plastic card security....etc.

You get 25gigs of space just by signing up with skydrive.

An iphone 5 in my country is well over 1000$ so 5gigs to come with each product is not much to ask for that price.

I thought that I had an ego, but yours is monumental (EGO) deciding whether😮 Apple made enough money or didn't. I never considered myself a fan of Apple, but neither am I yours at that point.
