New iCloud fees

Question

New iCloud fees

Last year I purchased 20gb for a yearly fee of $10.99 a year. I just payed that fee, and my 20gb just ran out. I'd like to purchase more, but I'm confused by the new system. It says "20gb for .99c a month", I understand it I switched to this plan, I would no longer pay the $10.99 a year, but would I get a total of 40gb for my phone? (the 20 I purchased last year plus the 20 I would be purchasing for a monthly fee).

Also, if you switch to 20gb a month, is it 20 new GBs a month? Or are you just paying to access the same 20gbs?

I hope that makes sense.

iPhone 4S, iOS 8.3

Hi HailieElizabeth,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you want to know more about the storage upgrades. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades - Apple Support

Upgrade to a total of 20 GB, 200 GB, 500 GB or 1 TB of iCloud storage. Learn more about iCloud storage.

Reduce the amount of iCloud storage you’re using. Learn how to manage your iCloud storage.

If you have an annual plan, you can upgrade or downgrade to one of the monthly plans above only.

You can increase the amount of storage by selecting a new plan from your iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac, or PC (for example, a 200 GB plan to replace a 20 GB plan). Your existing storage plan will be canceled, and you'll be charged the prorated cost for the upgrade

Cheers,

Mario
