(Pocket-lint) – Apple has released an upgrade to its iCloud paid subscription service with iOS 15. This upgrade is called iCloud + (or iCloud Plus).
Here’s everything you need to know about iCloud +, including what it is, how much it costs, and what it means.
What is Cloud +?
Apple introduced iCloud + as something that combines “everything you love about diCloud, with cool new features”.
With the launch of diCloud + – supplied with iOS 15 – three premium features have been added. iCloud + and its features are available to all iCloud subscribers, and all iCloud + plans can be shared with people in the same Family Sharing group.
Apple also doesn’t change diCloud prices, which makes you wonder why the company came up with a new name “iCloud +” if it costs the same price that Cloud does and just adds new features for everyone.
What does iCloud + include?
With iCloud +, you have access to all basic diCloud features, such as Photos, Backup, and iCloud Drive, as well as additional premium features.
Private relay
On any given day, you can use a variety of networks to browse the web, whether it’s the internet in your own home or public Wi-Fi when you’re on the go. Behind the scenes, network providers and websites can combine your identity and browsing history to create detailed profiles about you. Now, to help protect your identity and privacy online (especially through the Safari browser), iCloud + comes with a feature called Private Relay.
It allows you to browse Safari in a way Apple describes as “an even more secure and private way”. It basically ensures that traffic leaving your device is encrypted – so no one can intercept and read it – and it forwards all your requests through two separate internet relays. It’s geeky enough, but the end result is that no one, including Apple, will be able to see who you are or what sites you visit. It does this without affecting performance.
In other words, Private relay is Safari’s built-in VPN service.
Hide my email
Have you ever worried about sharing your personal email address, for example when filling out a form on the web?
Well, with Hide My Email you can share a unique and random address which will forward messages to your personal inbox. This iCloud + feature is built right into Mail, Safari, and iCloud settings. You can create as many addresses as you want and delete them at any time.
HomeKit Secure Video
Those of you who use smart security cameras to keep tabs on your homes can take advantage of HomeKit Secure Video to connect one, five, or an unlimited number of cameras (depending on your plan) – and no video will count in your iCloud Storage. It is included in your subscription.
Is that right?
Technically, Apple has also introduced features to help you manage your iCloud account. A recovery feature allows Apple to send security codes to your friends or family if your own device is lost. There is also a “Digital Legacy” program that lets you choose who can access your files after you die.
How much does iCloud + cost?
ICloud + features are all included in existing iCloud plans at no additional cost. This means that in UK and US iCloud + is priced at:
- 50GB with a HomeKit Secure Video Camera for £ 0.79 / $ 0.99 per month
- 200GB with up to five HomeKit secure video cameras for £ 2.49 / $ 2.99 per month
- 2TB with unlimited HomeKit secure video cameras for £ 6.99 / $ 9.99 per month
When will iCloud + be available?
ICloud subscribers will automatically upgrade to iCloud + when they update their devices to iOS 15.
