    Apple plans to release iCloud+ in fall 2021. iCloud+ will be included in existing iCloud plans at no additional cost.
    The extension for iCloud includes the following functions, but requires a paid iCloud subscription as a prerequisite:

    1. private relay

    Private Relay is Safari’s integrated VPN service, which provides extra protection for your online identity. To do this, iCloud+ encrypts outgoing data traffic.

    2. hide my email

    With Hide my Email you can generate random email addresses that will be forwarded to you whenever you don’t want to reveal your real email address. This helps against SPAM!

    3. HomeKit Secure Video

    The Apple Home app now supports an unlimited number of security cameras. A user can now add a Homekit camera to their home without worrying about storage space, as iCloud Plus offers unlimited storage for HomeKit Secure videos. This storage does not affect the user’s iCloud storage, which is used to back up the device or store data.
