iCloud Legacy Plan 200GB

I'm having the exact same issue here in the UK. I've been searching the internet for an answer but haven't found anything. I was hoping they would at least upgrade the storage as they have for their monthly customers but there has been no change yet.

I'm due to renew in 8 days so I'm hoping to find an answer before then.

Their web article states the following:

If you purchased a monthly plan before September 16, 2015, your account was upgraded automatically. If you're currently on an annual plan, you'll continue to renew annually at that rate. If you select a new monthly plan, your annual plan won't be available to you.

So the annual price remains the same but it says nothing specific about the storage space.

I'm in the same boat. I have the legacy plan of 25GB for $11.99 per year, and it automatically renews on Sept 30. There is no reason that I can see why anyone would want to keep this current plan instead of upgrading to the 50GB for $0.99 per month, which is essentially the same price. The thing I'm curious about is the last time that they upgraded iCloud storage, I got an extra 5GB based on my legacy plan since the MobileMe days, and I didn't have to do anything to receive it. Will I get that again if I do nothing but allow it to automatically renew? Or will I automatically be placed in the 50GB plan if I do nothing? Or is Apple encouraging all legacy plan subscribers to upgrade to the new plan?

Not sure if I should choose a new plan, or leave it on my legacy 25GB plan (and when it automatically renews possibly get an extra 5GB, or at least get annual billing instead of monthly).

JJosh, this isn't Apple. It's a forum site for users, and we're not employees.

Apple don't read or post here. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click 'See all products and services', then ' 'iTunes', and then 'iTunes Store', then 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption'.

I called Apple support for exactly the same question. They told me that there is nothing that can be done about it, and I have to change plan. I was put on the legacy plan that Apple automatically offered last year: 200 gb for 44.99 usd per year. Now, my plan has been automatically renewed. Now, here is the thing: Apple forgot about this extra people who are its most loyal customers, and sticks them to a 25% higher rate for the same storage plan, *without even telling them about it*! No message, no warning, no possibility to have a higher storage space for that money. Not good, Apple.

Apple please create a 50Gb iCloud storage annual plan

There is a similar thread and we are also experiencing the same issue.

Hope to get a way to stick to annual instead of monthly.
