Apple Updates iCloud Plus Plans Without Changing Prices

Along with the iOS 27 update, Apple has also made new updates for its cloud-based subscription service iCloud+. Most recently, Apple TV was activated in our country. Now, new features have been added to it.

Apple added new features to its iCloud+ service without any increase in subscription fees. According to information reported by Ryan Christoffel from 9to5Mac, the company has started offering its subscribers advanced HomeKit security features, increased custom email limits, and raised artificial intelligence (AI) usage limits along with iOS 27.

Including services such as Hide My Email and iCloud Private Relay alongside additional storage space, iCloud+ packages were directly made available to existing users with these updates.

Limits Increased in HomeKit and Custom Email Domains

Ahead of the launch of new Home products, Apple made a comprehensive update to the HomeKit Secure Video infrastructure. 4K resolution support was added to the system along with iOS 27. In addition, artificial intelligence (AI)-generated video descriptions, in-clip search, and automatic highlight detection features were presented to users.

The email flexibility provided for subscribers using their own domain name was also expanded. Previously, a maximum of 3 personalized email addresses could be created per domain, but with the new arrangement, this limit has been increased to 10 per domain name.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Limits and Service Bundles Expanded With iOS 27

As Apple stated in the iOS 27 introduction, it provided higher usage limits for artificial intelligence (AI) features to users with certain iCloud+ plans. Services affected by this update include Siri AI, new editing tools in the Photos app, and Image Playground.

Valid in more than 100 countries outside the US, Apple TV and Apple Arcade services have started to be offered as part of the package to iCloud+ subscribers without any additional fee.

How Do These Changes Affect You?

If you are an existing iCloud+ or Apple One subscriber, you can benefit from these new rights with no change in your subscription fee. Those using HomeKit Secure Video on smart home cameras now have the ability to stream in 4K quality and get automatic video summaries. Families or small businesses can define up to 10 corporate email addresses with custom domain support. Users residing in more than 100 supported countries can directly access Apple TV and Arcade services.
