How to Get Free Unlimited iCloud Storage on iPhone and iPad?

A lot of Apple users may not know this, but there is a way you can get free unlimited iCloud storage on your iPhone and iPad. Apple offers a standard 5GB of free iCloud storage to all iOS users. While it comes in handy to maintain necessary backups, 5GB of storage isn’t enough if you go beyond moderate use. At this point, you have to look for other backup options like Google Drive and Dropbox. However, there is a neat little trick that gives you unlimited iCloud storage on your Apple device. There are a couple of caveats though – you can only access it when you’ve consumed your allocated 5GB storage, and the unlimited storage is temporary. Nonetheless, it comes in quite handy when you don’t have any other place to store your data. In this article, we will show you how to get free unlimited iCloud storage on iPhone and iPad.
