Created by Yuri Vashchilov, an independent developer of iOS and Android apps under the name DIGITALBY , 'Is iCloud's free tier still 5GB?' does a very simple thing: it checks whether you're still at 5GB of free iCloud storage and shares that information on social media or in a group chat.

The first thing that catches your eye when you open the page is the big 'Yes' answer to the question, 'Is the free iCloud plan still 5GB?'

Below that, Vasilyov writes, 'Apple, with a market capitalization of over $3 trillion (approximately 474 trillion yen), still offers the same 5GB of free iCloud storage as when they started in 2011. Google offers 15GB for free. Unbelievable.'

Furthermore, the '5GB' is listed in three-year increments from 2011, when iCloud service was launched, with '2011 5GB,' '2014 5GB,' '2017 5GB,' '2020 5GB,' '2023 5GB,' and 'Today 5GB.' This ironically shows that iCloud's free limit has not changed for many years.

At the bottom of the page, there are sharing buttons for various social media platforms, including X, Bluesky, Threads, LinkedIn, Discord, and Telegram, with the message 'Send this page to a group chat or to your mom who's always running out of storage.' There are also buttons to access GitHub and a 'Copy Link' button to copy the page URL.

Regarding subscriptions to the latest information, the article says, 'Please check back in case Apple finally updates the free tier.' However, at the time of writing, the subscription feature is listed as 'COMING SOON' and is not available, and it is unclear whether it will actually be implemented.
