Apple has raised the monthly subscription fee on the 2TB tier of iCloud+ in Malaysia from RM39.90 to RM44.90.
One silver lining is that the existing prices for the 50GB and 200GB plans for iCloud+ have remained unchanged at RM3.90 and RM11.90 respectively. Users are also eligible for 5GB of free iCloud storage.
This is more than can be said for some other regions that have also been hit with a price increase, with the United Kingdom facing a bump across all tiers of the service.
