Apple has significantly increased the value of its iCloud+ subscriptions for users in India, bundling in access to Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade with all plans, starting at just Rs 75 per month. This move, coinciding with the release of iOS 27, aims to bolster Apple’s services revenue, which the company relies on alongside its hardware sales.
More Value for the Same Price
Previously, Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade were offered as separate subscriptions, each costing Rs 99 per month. Now, even the base Rs 75 iCloud+ plan includes both services, alongside the existing 50GB of cloud storage. According to the report, this represents substantial savings for users who previously subscribed to all three services individually.
iCloud+ Plan Details
Apple offers a range of iCloud+ storage tiers, all of which now include access to Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade:
- 50GB – Rs 75 per month
- 200GB – Rs 219 per month
- 2TB – Rs 749 per month
- 6TB – Rs 2999 per month
- 12TB – Rs 5900 per month
Beyond Entertainment: Comprehensive Cloud Services
iCloud+ provides more than just entertainment options. Subscribers benefit from secure cloud storage for iPhones, Macs, iPads, and other Apple devices, enabling seamless backups and access to important files, photos, and videos. The subscription also covers features like iCloud Photos, Shared Albums, Shared Photo Library, and iCloud Drive. Furthermore, essential apps like Notes, Calendar, Safari, Contacts, and Passwords are securely stored in the cloud and accessible across devices. Family Sharing allows users to share their iCloud+ benefits with family members.
Apple also offers HomeKit Secure Video recording for one camera with iCloud+ subscriptions, though a detailed explanation of this feature will be covered in a separate article.
