The price in the US, Canada, and the EU is still the same. Apple has not said why it is raising the prices. It might be because of rising costs for data storage and bandwidth.

Some people are upset about the price hike. Some people have also pointed out that Apple’s competitors, like Google and Microsoft, offer similar storage plans at lower prices.
