Apple’s new iCloud Plus plans offer more storage at a higher price — and they’re available to purchase now. Starting today, you can sign up for the 6TB plan at $29.99 / month or the 12TB plan for $59.99 / month.

Apple first revealed the new storage options during its iPhone 15 event last week, which it will offer alongside the existing 50GB plan for $0.99 / month, the 200GB plan for $2.99 / month, and the 2TB plan for $9.99 / month. While 6TB and 12TB may seem like a lot of storage space, the new plans could come in handy for professional photographers or hobbyists who want to take full advantage of the iPhone 15’s upgraded 48MP main camera or store hefty ProRes files.

Each iCloud Plus plan also includes Private Relay, a VPN-like service that hides your browsing activity from third parties, along with a Hide My Email service that generates random email addresses you can use when signing up for offers, newsletters, and other services, allowing you to conceal your actual email. iCloud Plus also lets you personalize your iCloud email domain as well as store end-to-end encrypted security footage.
