I see that a subscription to the iCloud will cost USA citizens US$100.00 while Australians will have to stump up US$ 113.07 [A$105.00]

One wonders how much this stops Aussies from using Apple products in the long term?

Probably not too much, like most things in life, if you want it bad enough you will find a means of getting "it" whatever the case might be!Mick

Actually, that makes the AU pricing better. Our price includes GST, the US price doesn't include any sales tax and that can run well over 10% depending on the state and city.

I thought iCloud was supposed to be free? Or are you talking about the price of the extra 50gb?
You might not know it to look at me, but I'm pretty radical.

ICloud is free, the charges are for additional space
Common sense is like deodorant. The people who need it most never use it.
