Dan Moren posted an article laying out how Apple's new pricing for cloud storage fits in the current landscape

Here's a graphic from the article. Prices are per month of service.



One difference between Apple and its cloud storage competitors Google and Microsoft is that, with a couple of specific exceptions, Apple claims they don't scan your uploads for information that would "improve services" to you. Apple also doesn't sell the information to third parties. Apple's privacy policy is described here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303

Strange that storage type was left off. What you're storing is a significant factor now with the big names offering free unlimited storage for X-type of content.

I see photos briefly mentioned, but nothing about music or video, which happens to be my single largest use for the cloud. Storage for photos and music (if purchased or "Prime'd") are both free for unlimited at Amazon.
