Apple Raises iCloud+ Prices in 8 Countries
Apple has announced price increases for its iCloud+ service in eight countries, including Nigeria and Türkiye. The price hikes, which range from 11% to 55%, are likely a response to fluctuations in local currencies against the U.S. dollar. For instance, Nigeria now charges ₦1,300 for the 50GB plan, up from ₦900. Notably, pricing in the U.S. remains unchanged, reflecting Apple's strategy in international markets.
