After many years, in which the iCloud space and prices were not updated, Apple seems to have begun to pay attention to this service, which is highly demanded by users. It all started with the release of iOS 9, in which the company lowered prices and added new storage plans to reasonable plans. But they are not the only changes that he had planned in iCloud, since the company has just launched a new storage plan in which it offers us 2 TB for 19,99 euros per month. It is interesting to see the change in prices and storage plans considering the latest rumors that the Cupertino-based company will launch an iPhone with 256 GB of storage, exactly the Plus model.

Previously, the storage plan with the highest capacity was 1 TB, which would be equivalent to 8 times the maximum storage of the iPhone of 128 GB, the highest-capacity model that the company is currently selling. With the continuous rumor about the arrival of a 256 GB iPhone, we observe that Apple maintains the same 8 times the mass storage plan of a device, in this case 2048/256: 8. Although all this may not be more than speculation and try to find a justification for the new storage space offered by the company.
Leaving aside these theories that try to justify the increase in space, the main reason why it seems that Apple has expanded the maximum storage of iCloud is because with the launch of macOS Sierra, we will have a new function in iCloud that It will allow us to store in the cloud all the content that we have stored on our desktop, so it is possible that many users need a greater amount of space to manage their documents, as long as they are interested in paying for the new plan that Apple offers us in iCloud.
