Cloud storage has given us better accessibility to our files since coming into play – seeing a trend that has Apple rethinking its strategy, hence revising the plans below.

Since existing, the cloud storage service has given users a lifetime’s worth of 5GB but if you needed more it would’ve cost as below:

OLD PRICING

$ 0.99 (RM 4.26) monthly – 20GB
$ 3.99 (RM 17.16) monthly  – 200GB
$ 9.99 (RM 42.95) monthly  – 500GB
$ 19.99 (RM 85.95) monthly  – 1TB

Now their prices bump up the storage options and make them cheaper at the same time:

NEW PRICING

$ 0.99 (RM 4.26) monthly  – 50GB
$ 2.99 (RM 12.86) monthly – 200GB
$ 9.99 (RM 42.95) monthly – 1TB

Compelling prices but how do they stack up against their competition?

On August 31st, hundreds of explicit pictures and videos of celebrities—including nude pictures of Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence, swim suit model Kate Upton, 2012 Olympic gold medallist McKayla Maroney, and around 20 other famous women—were posted on 4chan, one of the most popular English-language Internet imageboard communities in the world.

The release of these images was as since been named The Fappening after a subreddit with that name was created for submissions of leaked celebrity nude photos “Fappening” is a portmanteau of “fap,” meaning masturbation, and “happening.” According to Reddit Metrics, The Fappening gathered more than 50,900 subscribers in its first 10 hours and was the fastest growing subreddit of the day. Mainstream media coverage of The Fappening is calling the incident Celebgate.

Allegations quickly emerged suggesting that the images contained in The Fappening had been stolen through a breach of Apple’s iCloud service that allows users of iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices to synchronize data, including images, between devices and to store their content online. One popular theory posited that a hacker tool called iBrute was used to conduct a brute force attack—repeated attempts to enter a system by trying every possible password—on Apple’s Find My iPhone service. Once Find My iPhone is breached, hackers can gain access to information in their victim’s iCloud account. Apple now limits users to five password attempts on the Find My iPhone service effectively neutralizing iBrute.

While it has yet to be confirmed that The Fappening resulted from a breach of iCloud, Apple issued a statement stating that it is “actively investigating this report.” Jumping on the ambiguity bandwagon the FBI released a statement that the Bureau “is aware of the allegations (and) is addressing the matter.”
