It’s incredibly silly that you can just run out of the top iCloud storage tiers. It’s not something most people will run into probably… but it’s really weird that they won’t just sell you more. Glad there’s some higher tiers now, but I hate bucket sizes like this. I wish it was more granular and we paid per byte or something.
But that way they cannot charge you for the storage you don’t use
This is almost certainly the primary reason why they do this… It’s just a dick move. Especially since, sure, per byte the accounting gets more complicated… but there’s no reason to not let people buy storage in reasonably sized increments. Even 50gb at a time would be an improvement.
