Sounds like a good deal, I could never afford extra storage from iCloud before because it was always $99. Before I go ahead and order it, I just need to know whether this is going to be the standard monthly fee or if it is a trial for a certain period of time?
Thank you
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 11.3.1, Was on iOS 9.3.3 since Sep 2017
.99 cents has been the monthly price for 50GB of iCloud for several years now. It's not an introductory or trial price and does not change after any set period of time.
If they do increase it at any time it probably won't be to $60 or $90. A normal price increase to maybe $1.20 is more likely. but its impossible to know when or if they really plan on doing this.
As it is $.99 is the going monthly rate.

I was trying to ask this as a top level question and I keep getting THIS
The reason I wanted to ask this, is that I have heard about several people not being able to activate their 6s/6s+ on iOS 9.3.3 after doing an erase all settings. When I came in here to ask, I got that BLOCK.
Thank you for the response.
Nope, it is definitely some kind of BLOCK
I refreshed the page several times, even started again from scratch. Any way to find out about this? I really need an answer to this question.
AHHH! I was not properly entering the Forum I was targeting. Here is the link.
Sorry, I've never had this happen before, I thought I had broken some cardinal rule hehe.
Sorry but no one knows i apple is going to change their prices - so far they have only reduced iCloud charges in the past but tomorrow is a new day and no one can tell you what will happen when the sun comes up - what is the price of Oil going to b tomorrow?
These are the prices and tomorrow they may or may not be different - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201238

It's a good practice to research as much as possible before deciding what to buy. So no worries. It's never a bad thing to ask for clarification.
Also, should you ever need to, you can cancel at any time by simply downgrading to the free 5GB option, see here for details: Downgrade your iCloud storage - Apple Support
I see your post just fine.

Is this true?
No. There's no reason for that to be the case. Are you having an issue activating an iPhone 6s on iOS 9?
iCloud Lock and Activation Lock are the same thing. Activation Lock requires the device be signed into iCloud, and Find My iPhone be turned on. You cannot have Activation Lock, without iCloud.
Any reason you have not updated either iPhone to iOS 10 or 11?
For whatever its worth, I have an iPhone 6 Plus running fine on iOS 11.
See here for steps in case you have issues activating an iPhone: If you can't activate your iPhone - Apple Support
very simple - you rent storage and pay monthly for it - you do not pay then you do not have it anymore and any thing you had stored above your free 5GB is gone
iCloud storage plans and pricing - Apple Support
Nothing complicated or confusing about it - rent what you need and pay your rent or it goes away and your data is gone with it

Now that has got to be the most rude and unhelpful response I have ever gotten in these forums, and I just want Apple to know that I find your response totally inappropriate and especially unhelpful.
Take a lesson from the person who responded after you, simply answer my question without all of the rude rhetoric.
Thank you once again, on the basis of your response i have purchased this. On my limited income I have to find out if something offered at $0.99 is not some iintroductory offer (Like Spotify service- which is normally 10 dollars a month, but they offer 3 mos at 99¢). The last time I checked about any apple storage service was during the “me dot com” service which was something like 99 dollars per year, they offered a short trial for free or low cost.
In fact it wasn’t until I got my first iPhone that I took advantage of the free 5gb iCloud space. Well, that was in 2010, and that space has finally become totally filled.
Before I made the plunge I had to ask, and I had not checked the other storage options since 2010, they didn’t offer anything this good back then, and honestly, I never looked at other storage offers through my parade of iPhone 2g, 4, 4S, 5S, and two 6s+ (Which I bought twice because of price).
Much appreciation,
JV
Test, am I BLOCKED from posting in here?
I seem to not be allowed to ask a question about a certain issue.
OK I can edit this post, and even insert the question I was not allowed to ask. I'll switch IDs and ask again.
I am considering paying the $0.99 to get the additional 50GB. So does that mean that every month I will be auto-billed $0.99 for 50 more? Further, if I pay for one month and then cancel when the month is over, are you saying that I'll be downgraded back to only 5GB and not have the 50GB (or 55GB?) anymore?
Hope you can clarify. Seems like I've been getting conflicting (or incomplete) answers.
Thanks.
Thank you. I now understand. But I disagree as to whether it was confusing.
So anyway, is it possible to BUY more storage, obviously at a different price, rather than paying RENT? Perhaps I need to contact someone in Sales to find out.
Thanks again for the clarification.
You pay the .99 cents every month to maintain access to the 50GB. not 55GB.
You do not get 50GB each month. You get access to the same 50GB of storage space every month you pay for it. in other words it does not increase the storage space every month.
It's like renting a storage bin. You only get access to it while you pay. And the bin does not get larger as pay each month.
If you stop paying you no longer have access to the 50GB, and are downgraded back to the free 5GB. Anything that exceeds the 5GB is deleted from the account.
you are working really hard to make a very simple thing complex - you choose how much iCloud storage you need and you pay for it monthly- if you do not pay your storage bill then it reverts to the free 5 GB and you lose everything above that
It is simple an straight forward - nothing complicated at all - no different than your cable TV selection, your internet service or any other monthly subscription service in the entire world
sign up for 50 GB and pay a monthly charge, increase it to 200 GB and pay a higher monthly charge, same for 2 TB - choose your service adn pay for it each and every month - simple as can be

That’s the standard rental price for 50GB.

Is the $.99 50 GB price a trial price?
