JAKARTA Brazil's currency has experienced a decline in value over the past few years, so Apple decided to change the iCloud price. Now, customers have to pay more expensive.

Brazil's currency valuation of the US dollar reached 15 to 20 percent so that iCloud's service costs also increased equally. According to an iHelpBR report, through 9to5mac, Apple raised iCloud costs by around 20 to 34 percent overall.

The previous fee was only 4.9 Brazilian reals (IDR 14 thousand) for the 50GB package to 5.9 Brazilian reals (IDR 16 thousand). Meanwhile, the storage offer of 12TB, which was previously only 299.9 Brazilian reals (IDR 859 thousand) to 399.9 Brazilian reals (IDR 1.145 million).

Apple also changed the price of the Apple One package. Users don't have to pay more for the basic package. However, the Family plan rose 9 percent to 59.9 Brazilian reals (Rp171 thousand), while the Premium package rose to 99.9 Brazilian reals (Rp286 thousand) per month.

It is not yet known when this latest price will be implemented. It seems that this increase in costs will be felt by customers in Brazil in June or July because the information circulating is immediate.

Apple has yet to make an official statement regarding this price increase. With costs suddenly soaring, some customers are likely to stop subscribing or switch to iCloud storage services from other companies.

Apart from iCloud, other Apple service costs are also believed to be experiencing price increases, such as Apple Music or even Apple TV+. However, there has been no official news from Apple regarding plans to increase this price.
