iCloud+ price (October 2026) and how to cancel or downgrade
In the US (as of 2026-10-18), iCloud+ costs $0.99/month (50 GB), $2.99/month (200 GB), $9.99/month (2 TB), $29.99/month (6 TB) or $59.99/month (12 TB) (Apple Support: iCloud+ plans and pricing). To cancel on iPhone with iOS 18.4 or later, open Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, tap iCloud+, then tap Cancel Subscription (Apple Support: Downgrade or cancel your iCloud+ plan).
The change takes effect after the current billing period ends. If you return to the free 5 GB plan, Hide My Email, Private Relay, Apple Invites and HomeKit Secure Video support stop. Download or delete content that exceeds your new storage before the change.
Deleting photos from your phone does not cancel iCloud+. Cancel or downgrade on the Apple Account that pays for storage. If storage comes from Apple One, manage Apple One first.

How to confirm it worked
You're done when:
- Settings shows a blue check next to the new (or free) plan, or the subscription no longer set to renew.
- Apple Support says the change takes effect after the current billing period ends.
- You are not charged for iCloud+ after that date.

Common problems
- Used storage is above the new plan. iCloud stops syncing and backups until you free space or upgrade again (Apple Support).
- You only deleted the Photos app or signed out. That does not cancel. Use Subscriptions or Manage Plan.
- Storage is part of Apple One. Cancel or change Apple One, or cancel the separate iCloud+ add-on if you have both.
- You expected an immediate refund. Apple notes partial refunds where required by law; if you recently changed the plan, contact Apple within 14 days (Apple Support).

Storage warning before you cancel

Apple One overlap
If you pay for both Apple One and a separate iCloud+ plan, you can cancel the separate plan and use the iCloud+ storage included in Apple One (Apple Support). See also Apple One.
Refunds
