![]() ![]() I’ve borrowed some screen shots from Apple, and will be referencing them along with my own shots in the gallery. But it comes with its own set of problems, mostly because of its cloud underpinnings.Įnough about fundamentals though. This is a great selling point, as it officially untethers users from ever having to sync against iTunes again. This will mostly be because of iCloud’s biggest features: cloud sync and storage for both your iOS-level backups, and 3rd-party applications. Overall the pricing is a big win for Apple users, but I think we’ll be seeing people hitting that 50 GB limit faster than Apple thinks. But that’s a tough comparison to make, since iCloud offers a lot more for Apple users. This is competitive with Dropbox and SugarSync’s pricing. Pricing for these is $20, $40, and $100 a year, respectively. This means you’ll have 15, 25, and 55 GB of total storage. Once you fill those 5 GB, you have options for 10, 20, and 50 GB of add-on storage. This is not the best policy however, and we’d like to see Apple at least adopt an official policy somewhere, even if it’s “No Refunds”. But if you get in touch with their technical support, they can usually work something out for you. This is typical of Apple, as there’s no refund policy for App Store purchases. ![]() No monthly pricing is available, and no refund policy can be found anywhere. But don’t worry this is a first in a series of iCloud articles where we’ll be diving into this new service to poke and prod its inner workings.Īpple takes a semi-traditional approach of offering the first 5 GB or storage for free, and then charging yearly for additional storage. This is where we’ll be focusing for today. However the true power lies in what’s new: iDevice cloud sync and storage, iTunes cloud storage & music matching services (coming soon), and third-party app storage and sync. This partially comes as a rebrand from the existing MobileMe service, so you have the full cloud suite of email, calendaring, notes, along with the iWork Additions for word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, respectively). There are more features in this suite than you can shake your iStick® at.
