Apple is not raising the price of iCloud, and anyone who currently pays for an iCloud storage plan can take advantage of the new features at their current tier.<\/p>\n<p>With the announcement of iCloud+, Apple has introduced three new standout features: Private Relay, Hide My Email, and unlimited HomeKit Secure Video recording.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-733026 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-08-at-13.04.00.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Apple WWDC 2021 iCloud+ Presentation\" width=\"650\" height=\"358\" data-credittext=\"Apple\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Anyone who currently pays for iCloud storage will be automatically moved onto an iCloud+ plan at no extra cost. iCloud Storage quotas weren\u2019t changed with the announcement of iCloud+. The free iCloud tier is still limited to 5GB of storage and doesn\u2019t include any iCloud+ benefits.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Private_Relay_Apples_Take_on_a_VPN\"><\/span>Private Relay: Apple\u2019s Take on a VPN<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The standout feature of iCloud+ is called Private Relay, and it\u2019s Apple\u2019s take on a VPN (even though Apple won\u2019t use that terminology to describe it). The feature seeks to protect your identity online by encrypting all traffic that leaves a device, effectively hiding your online activity from internet service providers, governments, and snoopers. It\u2019s one of many <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/86820\/apples-privacy-updates-will-you-help-recover-grandmas-password-again\/\">privacy-related features in iOS 15<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Like a VPN, all traffic is encrypted. This means that if someone were to intercept traffic, for example, by using a man-in-the-middle attack on a public wireless network, they would still need to decrypt the data to see what you\u2019re doing. It\u2019s not yet clear what level of encryption Apple is going for with Private Relay.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-733024 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-08-at-14.28.06.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Apple WWDC 2021 Craig Federighi\" width=\"650\" height=\"365\" data-credittext=\"Apple\/YouTube\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What separates Private Relay from other similar VPN services is the \u201ctwo-hop\u201d approach. Once internet traffic has been encrypted, it\u2019s sent through two separate relays.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/ng\/newsroom\/2021\/06\/apple-advances-its-privacy-leadership-with-ios-15-ipados-15-macos-monterey-and-watchos-8\/\">Apple<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe first assigns the user an anonymous IP address that maps to their region but not their actual location. The second decrypts the web address they want to visit and forwards them to their destination. This separation of information protects the user\u2019s privacy because no single entity can identify both who a user is and which sites they visit.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>With Private Relay in place, Apple claims that even it cannot see what you\u2019re doing online. iPhone in certain countries, such as China and Belarus, will not get access to Private Relay at all.<\/p>\n<p>The two-hop approach is novel since it relies on a first party (Apple) and a third party (a trusted partner) to anonymize your browsing activity. Apple will know who you are since you\u2019re using its service, but not where you\u2019re going since the destination is encrypted. With the second hop, the trusted partner knows where you\u2019re going but has no idea who you are since your IP address is anonymized.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90643627\/apple-privacy-wwdc-private-relay-vpn-icloud-plus-macos-monterey\">Fast Company<\/a>, Apple\u2019s senior vice president of software engineering clarified: \u201cWe hope users believe in Apple as a trustworthy intermediary, but we didn\u2019t even want you to have to trust us [because] we don\u2019t have this ability to simultaneously source your IP and the destination where you\u2019re going to\u2014and that\u2019s unlike VPNs.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-733029 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-08-at-14.37.16.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"WWDC 2021 Tim Cook\" width=\"650\" height=\"364\" data-credittext=\"Apple\/YouTube\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple\/YouTube<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Apple will still have to comply with requests from authorities to provide court-ordered information about users, although it\u2019s not yet clear what information Apple will be able to supply for its Private Relay users.<\/p>\n<p>With a VPN, factors like where you\u2019re located and the desired level of encryption can make a significant difference to performance. Apple claims that Private Relay works without compromising performance, but this is a claim that will be thoroughly tested when the service finally launches.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_My_Email_Enhanced_Spam_Protection\"><\/span>Hide My Email: Enhanced Spam Protection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another feature introduced with iCloud+ is Hide My Email, a feature that allows you to create and delete email aliases on the fly rather than giving out your real address.<\/p>\n<p>The feature mirrors Sign in with Apple in a bid to both anonymize users and provide enhanced spam protection. If you don\u2019t trust a service not to send you unsolicited emails, you can simply create a new one in Safari, Mail, or iCloud settings.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-733030 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Apple_iPhone12Pro-mail-new-message-hide-my-email_060721_carousel.jpg.medium_2x.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Hide My Email\" width=\"650\" height=\"362\" data-credittext=\"Apple\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The address will function like any other, and all mail will be forwarded to your inbox.
