Good job for the web team, but I wish iCloud would offer flexible pricing -- $4.99/month per 1 TB.

While at it, increase the video quality of HomeKit Secure Video recording.
I really hope I'm somehow wrong but I don't think Apple is ever going to improve iCloud storage tiers. They've already got way too many people paying for way more storage than they need, which works out very well for Apple.

The fact that they recently did update the tiers but only to add even more, higher end ones tells me that they know exactly what they are doing.

Now that they are a services first company that sells cameras that make lots of high quality pictures (and sometimes phone calls) they have no reason to cut into one of their most profitable products.

They forgot the most important one that they could password protect. One where you can look at your Messages in iCloud and delete them if should want to.

I don't usually use this, but it can be super handy in certain situations and it's great that they are developing it further.

iCloud.com is so basic/archaic that I'm in shock Apple is not embarrassed by it. I cannot believe that towards the end of 2024, over a decade after launching the website and the reminders app, it cannot do basic functionality in the web such as being able to sort reminders. Inexcusable. And don't get me started with Mail on the web.
The thing is, it’s not meant to be at feature parity with the macOS, iOS, and iPadOS apps. It’s meant to be a fallback if you ever have to access something on e.g. a Windows PC. It’s not meant to be a replacement for the native apps, and it will likely never be at feature parity with the native versions of the apps.
