5GB of storage for every Apple user comes to hundreds if not thousands of petabytes of storage that Apple are providing for free. Calling that "miserly" seems awfully entitled to me – you're essentially complaining that Apple aren't giving you enough stuff for free.
- rtpg 12y agoconsidering this is for iDevice and Mac users, it's far from free. Besides, Dropbox has way more coverage and is offering 16 gigs. Apple has $150 billion in cash, so it's not an infrastructure issue. The core is probably that they don't "need" to offer more, so don't. But that doesn't mean we can't ding them for their behaviour

There are some referral games you can play to get more, but I doubt many people end up with 16 gigs (I'm at 4).
