CTOnews.com, January 10 (Xinhua)-- Apple announced today that new subscribers who have recently purchased and activated a new iPhone or iPad will receive a six-month iCloud + service for free.

Devices eligible for this offer refer to the new iPhone or iPad that was purchased from Apple or its authorized distributor within the scope of Chinese mainland on January 1, 2023 and is already running iOS 14 or iPadOS 14 systems. In short, users who purchase activated iPhone or iPad after January this year can enjoy this discount. Within 90 days of device activation, users can push notifications through the system or redeem discounts in "Settings"-"name"-"iCloud"-"manage account storage space" of the system.

In addition, although Apple mentioned that "existing iCloud+ paying customers can not enjoy this discount," in fact, "original subscribers who have stopped using the iCloud+ service for more than three months" can also enjoy this discount, and even regular users can enjoy the discount if they stop using it for a period of time.

Users can choose to try out existing 50GB, 200GB, and 2TB storage schemes, and also support sharing storage space with up to five family members during the trial period. After the trial, Apple will deduct the monthly fee according to Chinese mainland regional prices, and if you do not want to pay for the subscription, you will need to cancel the subscription at least one day before the trial ends.

CTOnews.com learned that as Apple's own cloud service, iCloud carries an important function of synchronizing information between Apple's different devices. For basic services, users can synchronize calendars, memos, reminders, etc., between different devices, and enjoy 5GB free storage space for device backup or photo storage. Users can also pay to upgrade to 50GB, 200GB or 2TB.

In June 2021, Apple announced at its Global developer Conference that iCloud was officially upgraded to the iCloud + brand, with more emphasis on user privacy. Compared to iCloud, "iCloud+" service has more advanced features, such as "hidden email address" and HomeKit security video support. In addition, users can share the maximum 2TB storage space with family members through family sharing.
