Additional Notes

  • The downgrade or cancellation takes effect after your current subscription billing period ends.
  • If your iCloud storage exceeds your new plan, iCloud won't sync or update your information and iCloud backups won't complete until you add storage or free up space.
  • On the free plan you lose iCloud+ features such as Hide My Email, Private Relay, Apple Invites and HomeKit Secure Video support.
  • If you pay for both Apple One and an iCloud+ plan, you can cancel the iCloud+ plan and use the iCloud+ plan included in Apple One.
