With Apple adding a new tier that provides 2TB for $19.99 per month, iCloud users can now access up to 2TB of storage.

The iCloud storage service allows Mac and iOS users to store and sync photos and videos, documents, device backups, music, emails and more between their devices.

Apple also provides a Dropbox-like service called iCloud Drive, which uses also iCloud storage, and allows users to sync any document between their iOS device, Mac, or PC.

According to commentators, since Apple is getting ready to release macOS Sierra with built-in Drive support, Apple has probably added this new 2TB option assuming that bringing iCloud Drive to the desktop would result in some users wanting to sync more than 1TB of data.

The increased storage option lends credence to the rumour that Apple may soon release a new iPhone with 256GB of storage.

The 2TB option adds to iCloud's existing 5GB free tier, 50GB tier at $0.99 per month, 200GB tier at $2.99 per month, and 1TB tier at $9.99 per month.

According to commentators, on the price front, Apple's offering compares well with competing services.

Google Drive also offers 1TB for $9.99 per month while Microsoft offered 1TB for $6.99 per month as part of an office 365 subscription. Dropbox also offered 1TB for $9.99 per month.

Meanwhile, Apple will unveil the iPhone 7 with its new storage options next week. Apple is expected to introduce minor changes this year.

According to rumours, the camera on the 4.7-inch iPhone variant would get an optical image stabilizer (OIS), while the 5.5-inch variant would reportedly sport a new dual camera module. The company is also expected to do away with 16GB base storage variant, in favour of 32GB and a Space Black variant is also expected to be introduced.
