Digital Gaming & FinTech Specialists (Dhaka, BD) • UpdatediCloud+ Storage Plans: Which One to Buy and How to Pay with an Apple Gift Card from Bangladesh
Most iPhone users in Bangladesh only need the 50 GB or 200 GB iCloud+ plan. Choose 50 GB ($0.99 a month) for one phone with a few years of photos. Choose 200 GB ($2.99) if you share storage with family or keep lots of videos. 2 TB ($9.99) is for heavy users. On a US Apple Account, you can pay for any plan with a USA Apple gift card bought with bKash. A $10 card covers about ten months of 50 GB or three months of 200 GB.
iCloud+ plans and US prices
These are Apple's official US monthly prices:
| Plan | US price per month | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 (5 GB) | Contacts, notes, and a small backup |
| 50 GB | $0.99 | One iPhone with a normal photo library |
| 200 GB | $2.99 | Big photo libraries, or sharing with family |
| 2 TB | $9.99 | Several devices, lots of 4K video |
| 6 TB | $29.99 | Very large libraries |
| 12 TB | $59.99 | Professional use |
Apple notes that some US states add tax to the monthly price, so a little extra balance helps.
What iCloud+ includes besides storage
- iCloud Private Relay: hides your IP address when you browse in Safari.
- Hide My Email: makes random email addresses that forward to your inbox, so you don't have to share your real one.
- Custom email domain: use your own domain with iCloud Mail.
- Family Sharing: share your storage with up to five other people. Each person's files stay private.
- HomeKit Secure Video: store home camera clips, with more cameras on bigger plans.
The free 5 GB plan doesn't include these extras.
How much storage do you need?
Open Settings, tap your name, then iCloud. You'll see a bar showing what is using your space. Photos and device backups are usually the biggest.
- Using under 50 GB, one person: the 50 GB plan is enough.
- Close to 50 GB, or you shoot lots of video: go for 200 GB.
- Sharing with family: 200 GB for two or three light users, 2 TB for a family of heavy users.
- Only need room for a backup: clear old backups first. You may not need a bigger plan.
You can upgrade or downgrade at any time from the same screen.

How to pay for iCloud+ with an Apple gift card
- Check that your Apple Account is set to the United States. USA cards only work on US accounts. Our USA vs Turkey Apple card guide explains the regions.
- Buy a USA Apple gift card on AroraShop with bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay.
- Open the App Store, tap your photo, and choose Redeem Gift Card or Code. Enter the code.
- Go to Settings, then your name, then iCloud, and choose a storage plan.
- Apple uses your account balance first for subscriptions.
Keep an eye on your balance. If it runs out and there's no other payment method, your plan won't renew. Your files stay, but if you're over 5 GB, new photos and backups stop syncing.
Tips to save iCloud space and money
- Turn on Optimize iPhone Storage in Photos settings. Full-size photos stay in iCloud and smaller copies stay on your phone.
- Delete old device backups you no longer need.
- Empty the Recently Deleted album in Photos.
- Move big videos to a computer or external drive.
- Share one plan with family instead of paying for several.
iCloud+ or Google Drive?
If you use an iPhone, iCloud is the easiest choice. Backups, photos, and app data work without extra setup. Google Drive and Google Photos work on iPhone too, but your full phone backup still goes to iCloud. Many people keep iCloud for backups and use another service for extra files. Pick one main place for your photos so you don't pay twice.
