Apple Adds New 2TB iCloud Storage Tier for $19.99 Per MonthApple today quietly added a
new iCloud storage tier, offering customers 2TB of data storage space at a price of $19.99 per month in the United States. Apple now offers four
iCloud storage tiers at prices that start at $0.99.

The new 2TB iCloud storage option comes just over a week ahead of the company's September 7 event, where new versions of the iPhone and
Apple Watch are expected to debut alongside new operating system updates.
Rumors have suggested camera improvements could be one of the features coming to the
iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus, and that could be one of the reasons Apple is introducing more storage space. A dual-lens camera, as is rumored for the iPhone 7 Plus, could potentially produce images that are larger, resulting in customers who need more space to store their photos and other files.
We've also heard rumors that the high-end iPhone models could offer up to 256GB of storage (perhaps limited to the iPhone 7 Plus), which could be another factor leading to Apple's decision to increase available iCloud storage space.
Perhaps the biggest reason for the jump in iCloud space is a new desktop syncing feature coming to
macOS Sierra. In the new operating system, all files stored on the desktop or in the Documents folder of a Mac are automatically uploaded to iCloud to make them available across a wide range of devices.
