What's with the downvotes? Even dyed-in-the-wool Apple fans like Gruber admit that the 5GB free tier iCloud storage is stingy at best. He's been saying so since 2012(!) and he's absolutely right. 2012: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2012/09/24/icloud-storage-limits https://daringfireball.net/linked/2012/09/24/icloud-storage-... "Now that iCloud is up and running and seemingly holding up under demand, Apple needs to start offering more than 5 GB of storage at the free level." 2016: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/08/08/google-photos-sick-burn https://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/08/08/google-photos-s... "I realize Apple is building up its “services” as a profit center, but 5 GB just isn’t enough for the free tier." https://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/09/27/icloud-photos-carmo https://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/09/27/icloud-photos-c... "Surely Apple will eventually increase the storage capacity of the free tier; the sooner they do so, and the larger they make it, the better." https://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/09/27/trouton-icloud-desktop https://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/09/27/trouton-icloud-... "Apple should give all iCloud users a lot more free storage" https://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/12/15/speirs-icloud-storage https://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/12/15/speirs-icloud-s... "This 5 GB tier is just untenable." 2018: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2018/01/25/stern-icloud-storage https://daringfireball.net/linked/2018/01/25/stern-icloud-st... "5 GB seems ridiculous when the company is selling $999 iPhones with 64 GB of storage." https://daringfireball.net/linked/2018/05/25/icloud-storage-free-trials https://daringfireball.net/linked/2018/05/25/icloud-storage-... "My fingers are still crossed that they’ll increase the storage capacity of the free tier at WWDC, though." https://daringfireball.net/linked/2018/08/01/iphone-x-snell https://daringfireball.net/linked/2018/08/01/iphone-x-snell "I think Apple’s (Cook’s?) interest in increasing revenue from Services is keeping them from doing what’s right — increasing the base iCloud storage from 5 GB to something more reasonable." 2019: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2019/11/01/snell-services https://daringfireball.net/linked/2019/11/01/snell-services "That miserly 5 GB free tier is emitting an evermore pungent nickel-and-diming aroma."
