iCloud+ is best known for increasing iCloud storage, but Apple continues to improve and expand its set of benefits for subscribers. Here’s everything new for iCloud+ that’s been added in the past few weeks.
iCloud+ enhancements include HomeKit Secure video upgrades, free Apple TV and Arcade for many, higher AI usage limits, and more.
If you subscribe to iCloud+ or Apple OneYou may benefit more than you realize.
In addition to more storage, iCloud+ includes features like Hide My Email, iCloud Private Relay, full access to Apple Invites, and more.
Here’s everything new for iCloud+ subscribers added in the last few weeks:
- HomeKit safe video upgrade: Ahead of the new Home products launched this week, Apple has upgraded HomeKit Secure Video in several ways. Powerful new features in iOS 27 include 4K support, video captioning, clip search and notable clips.
- Custom email domains: If you run a small business or want to use custom email for your family or for other reasons, iCloud+ lets you set up personal addresses for domains you own. Previously you were limited to three personal email addresses, but now you can create up to 10 per domain.
- Apple TV and Arcade added in 100+ countries: It doesn’t apply to the US, but iCloud+ subscribers in more than 100 countries now get Apple TV and Arcade at no extra cost. It’s a big upgrade for many users that makes the service more unintelligible in the supported territory.
- Limit the use of AI higher in iOS 27: The specifics are still unclear, but when Apple unveiled iOS 27, it said that optional iCloud+ plans would include higher usage limits for AI features. We have yet to see evidence of Apple restricting access to AI features, but the affected features include Siri AI, new photo editing tools, Photo Playground and more.
All these improvements have been added without changing the price for subscribers.
