Even if smartphones are blessed with lots of storage nowadays, if you keep storing various stuff on it, you can easily get it filled up sooner instead of later.
This is where Apple’s iCloud storage can step in. Apple provides every user 5 GB of free storage space in their cloud servers, and you are also allowed to purchase about two terabytes for a subscription fee every month.
