I think some demographic info can be useful in judging the potential uptake.

Apple iPhone ownership amongst USA teens:

2024: 87%

2019: 83%

2014: 67%

Smartphone marketshare for iPhone in various countries:

65%: Norway

59%: Sweden/Japan/Canada/USA

49%: UK

30-39%: Germany/Portugal/Italy

other countries are lower from my random sampling of developed countries (South Korea is dominated by Samsung).

I really wonder what the uptake is on iCloud+ subscriptions.

Don’t you need to get iCloud+ if you want to have more than 5GB iCloud storage? I would guess it’s probably more than 80% of users.

That's where most of it comes from - iCloud+ is different than Apple One.

iCloud+ for 2TB is priced just where if you have ONE other Apple service, you're probably better off with Apple One.

(I admit I misread this whole thing as being a feature of Apple One.)
