For iCloud storage, can you pay yearly rather than monthly?

Annual iCloud storage plans - https://support.apple.com/HT201058 - "We introduced monthly storage plans and pricing on September 16, 2015. With these monthly plans, you might be able to increase your storage or reduce the cost of your plan." ... " If you don't switch to a monthly plan, your annual plan continues to renew on your original purchase date." I.e., you used to be able to pay annually but can't now. You can use a gift card to make sure your iTunes Store balance has enough money to cover long-term deductions, or add a credit card to your payment type.
