Apple appears to be offering annual iCloud+ billing to some subscribers, but the option is not showing everywhere and the reported discounts are modest. The yearly choice may still appeal to people who prefer one invoice, although it should not be treated as a global price change.
Users in a recent iPhone community discussion reported seeing yearly choices in countries including Singapore and India. One Singapore user listed S$46.98 per year for 200GB and S$164.98 for 2TB, while other participants said the option was absent in their regions.
Apple’s current iCloud+ pricing page still presents Singapore prices as monthly amounts, including S$3.98 for 200GB and S$13.98 for 2TB. Our complete iCloud+ pricing guide likewise covers the standard monthly tiers and the features bundled with them.

Check the total before switching
Twelve monthly payments at Singapore’s listed rates total S$47.76 for 200GB and S$167.76 for 2TB. Compared with the community-reported annual prices, that would save S$0.78 and S$2.78 respectively. Those calculations apply only to the stated Singapore examples and should not be carried over to another currency or country.
Annual billing can simplify expense records and reduce the number of transactions even when the discount is small. The tradeoff is a larger upfront charge and less flexibility if a subscriber expects to change storage tiers, join a shared family plan, or move to an Apple One bundle during the year.
Subscribers should check their own iCloud settings for the exact options attached to their Apple Account. Prices, taxes, eligibility, renewal terms, and refund rules can vary by country. A screenshot from another region does not guarantee that the same plan is available locally.
Apple has not added a worldwide annual iCloud+ price table to the support page we checked. Until it does, the safest description is a limited rollout or test visible to some accounts, with small savings in the examples users have shared rather than a broadly available annual discount.
