Starting in September 2026, iCloud+ subscribers in Nigeria gain access to Apple TV and Apple Arcade at no additional cost as part of their existing iCloud+ subscription. Apple TV is also now available in Nigeria for the first time.
For Nigerian Apple users, this means one iCloud+ subscription can now combine cloud storage, device backups, privacy features, entertainment, gaming and Family Sharing.
What has changed?
iCloud+ has traditionally been known for providing additional cloud storage and privacy features. With Apple's latest expansion, Nigerian subscribers can now also access:
- iCloud storage and backups
- Apple TV
- Apple Arcade
- Apple Music Select
- Privacy features
- Family Sharing
- Additional iCloud+ benefits
Apple says the expanded iCloud+ offering is rolling out across more than 100 countries and regions through the end of September 2026.

These are Apple's current listed Nigerian prices.
The different tiers make it possible to choose a plan based on how much storage you actually need. Someone primarily looking to back up an iPhone may need considerably less storage than a user with years of photos, videos, documents and multiple Apple devices.
50GB - For Everyday Apple Users
The 50GB plan at ₦1,300 per month is the entry-level iCloud+ option.
It can be suitable for users who primarily need additional space for:
- iPhone and iPad backups
- Photos and videos
- Documents
- App data
- Messages and other iCloud content
It is also the starting point for accessing the expanded iCloud+ benefits available in Nigeria.
200GB - More Room for Photos and Family Data
- The 200GB plan costs ₦4,500 per month and provides substantially more room for users with larger photo libraries or multiple Apple devices.
- It can also be useful for families because iCloud+ storage can be shared through Family Sharing.
- Apple allows an iCloud+ subscription to be shared with up to five other family members, while each person's photos, messages, preferences and recommendations remain private.
2TB - For Heavy Apple Users
- The 2TB plan costs ₦14,900 per month.
- This tier provides considerably more capacity for users who store large amounts of photos, videos, files and device backups in iCloud.
- For people with several Apple devices or large media libraries, the 2TB tier provides significantly more breathing room than the entry-level plans.
6TB - For Large Personal Libraries
- For users with extensive digital collections, Apple offers a 6TB plan for ₦39,900 per month.
- This amount of storage can be useful for users who work with large quantities of high-resolution photos, videos and other files.
- It can also provide additional capacity for households sharing storage through Family Sharing.
12TB - The Largest iCloud+ Plan
- At the top of the range is the 12TB plan, priced at ₦66,900 per month.
- This is Apple's largest iCloud+ storage tier and is aimed at users with exceptionally large digital libraries or extensive storage requirements.
- For photographers, videographers, content creators and users managing large collections across multiple Apple devices, the 12TB option provides substantial cloud storage capacity.
Apple TV is Now Available in Nigeria
One of the biggest changes is the arrival of Apple TV for Nigerian iCloud+ subscribers.
Apple TV provides access to Apple's original films, documentaries and television series, with new releases added regularly. The catalogue includes titles such as Ted Lasso, Severance, The Studio, CODA and other Apple Originals.
The service can be accessed through the Apple TV app on supported Apple devices, smart TVs, gaming consoles and the web.
Most importantly, Apple TV is included with iCloud+ in Nigeria at no additional cost.
Apple Arcade Is Included Too
iCloud+ subscribers in Nigeria also receive access to Apple Arcade.
Apple Arcade provides a catalogue of more than 200 games, including titles such as Football Manager 26 Touch, NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition, Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, Hello Kitty Island Adventure and Sneaky Sasquatch.
Apple Arcade games are available without advertisements or in-app purchases, and supported games can be played across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV 4K.
Apple Music Select
The expanded iCloud+ package also gives Nigerian subscribers access to Apple Music Select, a collection of ad-free stations programmed by Apple Music.
The stations include options such as Top Songs, 80s, 90s and other regionally relevant selections.
For users who want the full Apple Music experience, Apple is also offering iCloud+ subscribers a discounted Apple Music price in Nigeria:
- Individual: ₦1,500/month
- Family: ₦2,500/month
The full Apple Music subscription adds features such as on-demand listening, Spatial Audio, Lyrics Translation and AutoMix.
Privacy Features Are Still Part of iCloud+
- iCloud+ isn't only about storage and entertainment.
- Subscribers also get access to privacy-focused features such as Hide My Email and iCloud Private Relay, as well as other premium iCloud features.
- Hide My Email allows users to create unique email addresses that forward messages to their personal inbox, helping protect their primary email address.
- Private Relay is designed to provide additional privacy when browsing with Safari.
Family Sharing
- One iCloud+ subscription can also be shared with up to five other family members through Family Sharing.
- Each person maintains their own Apple Account and personal content, meaning family members don't have to share their photos, messages or personal recommendations simply because they share the same iCloud+ subscription.
What Happens to Apple TV and Apple Arcade Standalone Subscriptions?
- Apple has also changed how these services are offered in Nigeria.
- With the introduction of the expanded iCloud+ package, Apple TV and Apple Arcade are no longer offered as standalone subscriptions in Nigeria.
- Existing subscribers will continue to have access through their iCloud+ subscription, while their individual Apple TV or Apple Arcade subscriptions will be cancelled. Apple says Apple Arcade game progress and saves will be preserved.
iCloud+ Is Now More Than Cloud Storage
For Nigerian Apple users, the new iCloud+ package brings several services together:
Cloud storage + device backups + privacy + Apple TV + Apple Arcade + Apple Music Select + Family Sharing
And the amount of storage you choose can scale with your needs.
Whether you need 50GB for your iPhone, 200GB for a family, 2TB for a large photo library, or 6TB/12TB for extensive professional and personal data, Apple now provides five storage tiers for Nigerian customers.
Final Thoughts
Apple's September 2026 expansion makes iCloud+ a significantly broader service for customers in Nigeria.
The entry-level 50GB plan starts at ₦1,300 per month, while users can upgrade all the way to 12TB for ₦66,900 per month.
More importantly, iCloud+ subscribers now receive Apple TV and Apple Arcade at no additional cost, alongside cloud storage, backups, privacy features and Family Sharing.
For anyone using an iPhone, iPad or Mac, it is worth checking their current iCloud storage usage and understanding which plan fits their needs.
In Nigeria, iCloud+ is no longer simply about getting more storage. It is becoming a broader Apple services package.
