iCloud
Since October 2011, iCloud has connected all Apple devices via the Apple account. Apple's cloud service synchronizes photos, videos, files, notes, calendars, contacts, reminders, Safari tabs, passwords, messages, and app data between iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Vision Pro – as well as via iCloud.com on the web and official apps for Windows. iCloud+ expands the free 5 GB allowance with storage plans up to 12 TB and features such as Private Relay, "Hide Email," HomeKit Secure Video, a custom email domain, and Enhanced Privacy with end-to-end encryption.
Apfelpatient.de keeps you up to date on iCloud under this tag: current prices and storage plans in Germany, new features across the current operating system generations, security and privacy topics such as phishing attacks on iCloud backups, international disputes around encryption backdoors, bug fixes and sync issues between devices, and practical tips on Family Sharing, iCloud Drive, iCloud Photos and backup strategies.
Anyone wanting to use iCloud safely and efficiently, get the most out of iCloud+ and not miss any important update will find an ongoing chronicle right here.
