I've subscribed to iCloud+ 200GB for a few years and I love how well it synces my photos accross all my devices. Photos and videos are filled with sooo many memories that I'd like to keep for the rest of my life and knowing they are safe whatever happends to my phone or other devices just makes it soooo worth it for me.

[@Afnaanh]

What happens to our photos if we didn’t pay for a month? Should we pay every month life long?

I got 2tb and I only have 2gb used😭💀

[@manoloelcarabolo47]

I used to have that kind of problem, so I did what you are saying here and it actually worked pretty well. Also I've got enough storage for my family to use it as well. 2 TB is a huge difference for us. Plenty of space. Not even filled 50% of it. Economically speaking, it is worth it just for 9.99$ or € in my case. The amount of money saved while using it for 3 iPhones without spending the money for the full 1TB iPhone model. Great video as always. 😀😀

[@daisyy_le]

yup a lot of device for $10

[@vinc.els24]

One annoying thing is that the iPhone 14 Pro only can shoot ProRes 4K if you have at least 265GBs of storage. I only found out about this after I already bought the 14 Pro with 128GBs. Keep that in mind if you consider buying the iPhone 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max.

[@jai-yadav]

it's really annoying that they didn't highlight it properly. But this is the case since iPhone 13 pro.

[@daniel_960_]

It also takes up insane amount of space. Considering 128gb would always be pretty full even with iCloud that'd make prores quite useless. Maybe 5min of filming.

[@sweetphan]

Really ?😮 wow, If I hadn't read your comment, maybe I would have bought the 128GB one 😢

[@carlosjr.2082]

@@sweetphannobody use ProRess

[@jeffreynimpadu]

One thing to keep in mind is your data plan. In Germany, we still have limited amount of GB per month. If all is used up the download speed is reduced to 32/64 kbps

I just subscribed to your channel because I love your setup and how excellently produced your video is! THanks a lot for the info 🙏

[@AlekTrev006]

Excellent and helpful video, and your delivery / tone / etc is so easy to listen to. My compliments, and thanks 👏

[@natilay5431]

My question is for how long do you need to pay for cloud+ and what will happen if i stopped paying ? Thanks for the video

[@shadowboss2093]

They will keep removing it every month

[@yodelingcloud9612]

When you stop paying for iCloud plus you will have access to everything you have on the cloud in tell you subscription expires so if you subscribe to iCloud plus on the 18 then cancel it before the renewal date you’ll have access to your stuff on the cloud in tell the 18 of the following month

[@JeroenReumkens]

We need to know where you got that amazing sweater 👀

[@varshalama9368]

I had 34000 photos but today iPhone automatically deleted all my photos . How can I recover it? I’ve already tried so many ways but…. 😢😢

[@tuulikimumbala5242]

I have that 2TB plan as well but now I’m here can’t able to update my software due to iphone storage What do I do?

[@nishantsaloki]

Good video. Learned new thing

[@TastyGuava]

I have almost no apps on my phone and have a 2TB plan shared with my friends and partner, still always out of storage. Most of it is "iOS" and "System Data". Actually 1/3 of my storage is taken by items I can't even see. Along with that, messages takes a big chunk but it shouldn't really matter if iOS didn't cache so many files or whatever it is that is taking 52.57GB on my 128GB unit.

[@VickyNguyen-r8h]

I already increase my purchase for storage from $0.99 then $2.99 and now $9.99. But stil have no enough storage ... Where is my money go into ????

[@jordantherubio]

I use Google drive/photos for the same thing but loose out on those cool features but I hardly go back to old photos and use my pc in those cases. It’s a no for me. Great option tho.

[@CorsairMaverick]

I wonder how easy it would be to re-download the entire library on a device in case I wanted to stop using iCloud, or how long that would take. Companies try to make this process difficult to discourage users to stop paying the subscription.

[@Oliur]

Legally they have to give you all of your data upon request. I know this law was recently implemented.

[@jediknight9284]

I download all my photo’s as a back up to a scandisk portable 1tb drive, directly from my ipad. pics are fast at transferring but vids are a bit slow. So if i cancel my icloud at least i keep all my pics. and can access them off the portable hd. worth considering, as pics cant be replaced when lost.

[@ppap_blox]

I have the 2TB plan and 3.3GB of photos and that message always pops up to me. I am extremely mad because I’m spending that money and it is not helping me.

[@VickyNguyen-r8h]

I did the same as you Before we had never been like this even those we only pay $0.99/month ... WHAT 's wrong ? And where is my money going to?

It’s working now yeah?

[@yodelingcloud9612]

I recommend on upgrading your internal storage for your phone and using the old device as a camera games apps music movies and tv shows the iPhone XS max 512 gbs refurbish is going for around 239 dollars on Amazon as I’m writing this

[@art_of_enny]

Why does syncing take soo long?

[@justadudeintheworldman.120]

My main storage hogs are Netflix, Amazon Prime video, Audible & Spotify. I like downloading the full season of a show at a time. It makes sense for me to have a 128gb or 256gb. I just have a 64gb now

[@shadowluvsdeftones]

I have 200GB on iCloud storage but 64GB on iPhone storage how do I make 200GB turn into my iPhone storage I can’t find help on that anywhere :(

[@markokostadinovic389]

What happens to our photos if we didn’t pay for a month? Do we lose our photos from cloud or just losing an access until you pay again for another month whenever?

[@playlistneo1584]

Basically syncing to the service will stop. You can access your files/photos but syncing will stop and you can't upload anything new until you pay. Policy seems to be the same at least for google drive/photos, Icloud and dropbox

Just looked at apple storage pricing on their iphones. 1TB costs half the price of the base model, how are they getting away with this.

[@Metamine0]

Cuz they're Apple

[@daniel_960_]

Because stupid people like me still buy it They're really crazy with their storage pricing. It's unfortunate. Lot of people suffer because they don't have enough storage because they didn't buy more because prices are outrageous. Which also makes them upgrade sooner making Apple even more money.

[@EthanStaton-cs7jr]

Thx dude so when I go to start iCloud plus I have 32 gb iPad it will make me have more space

Just transfer excess photos to external hard drive

[@sunnys27]

On my phone I have done the same but the Photos app still uses up 15GB of space on the phone (with 215GB on the cloud) Any idea how I might reduce this?

[@GustavNilsson_]

There is really nothing you can do about that. 15GB really isn't alot and I can't imagine that's a huge deal for you

[@DavidGain]

As long as you have 'Optimise Storage' turned on in the Photos app settings, it will reduce the amount of locally stored media as other things on your phone require that space.

[@Dannyjeon1]

It’s cheaper to buy your own cloud. Western digital iCloud. Then you don’t have to pay every month. By the time your done for the year at 9.00 a month. You basically paid for your own cloud.

[@chrisw3327]

Backup resilience is important too. What if your Western Digital hardware failed? You could lose your precious photos and other data. Good to have multiple copies in multiple locations, e.g. in case of a fire, flood or whatever.

[@Dannyjeon1]

@@chrisw3327 I’ve had my hard drive for more than 10 years I haven’t had a problem with it. But I do have SSDs as back ups. Apple servers are not impenetrable. Nothing last forever but at least on the fly you were able to pull files and photos on the go without overloading your phone.

[@heinousprophecy]

Or you can save your money and not put local files out on the internet. What you can do is use time machine on your laptop n back that up onto a hard drive so you have everything saved without having to spend 10 dolalrs every single month. All you do is; you plug the phone into the computer and do iTunes back up. Then u plug a hard drive in for the laptop back up and use time machine You would have to do the itunes backup everytime manually. The time machine no. U can have a home server and do it wirelessly auto. But I do it manually

In my iPhone 12 pro max 128 Gb my iCloud Drive taking 51 GB of iPhone space please help me to remove it.

[@Tyler_ThaTruth]

so iCloud basically 2TB for 9.99 a month, lets say the average person keeps there iPhone for 2-3 years (I don't) so for 2 years thats $239.76 and 3 years thats $359.64. Meanwhile a 1 TB iPhone 14 pro is 1499.99 before taxes and a iPhone 14 pro max is 1599.99 before taxes....Sure Apple wins either way but iCloud is the smartest option if space on your phone is the main concern

My iCloud is not full but apple says that I MUST upgrade my iCloud storage to 2TB before it will sync and store more. Apple is such a predatory company. Essentially they are increasing the price by 450% for no reason. I’m done with them, back to the Android 👋👋👋Bye rotten Apple 🍎

Your solution is the worse i have ever heard. Why go and buy the base model and later go buy space in the cloud when you can do the opposite.

[@Oliur]

Did you even watch the video? 🤣

[@daniel_960_]

Do math. You can have 5 years of cloud storage for the price of the physical storage. And the cloud you can share between devices and family. And also it's a backup people should have anyway.

[@kwasigentleman5051]

@@daniel_960_ You have forgotten that you will keep renewing the contract. But with he physical SSD you will not pay anything.

I hope Apple increases the base storage capacity of iCloud to at least 15GB. 🫠

[@Metamine0]

They never will

[@ThatOnePaulGuy]

I have a feeling there will come a day where they get so much flack for having just 5 GB that they will eventually change it. There will come a day. But that day is not today.

[@goJesusandStarcraft]

Increasing base storage by 10GB to a total of 15GB, means that, multiplied by at least hundreds of millions of iCloud accounts, apple would need to provision billions of GB. There’s no way Apple spends the huge amounts of money to add and maintain Exabytes of server storage space, just so that users can have a little extra free storage. And the thing is, even if apple did decide to give people free storage for charity, people will still complain “why not 20” or “why not 30”.

[@daniel_960_]

Tbf their base option only costs 1€ per month
