IS iCLOUD REQUIRED WHEN YOU UPGRADE TO iOS 11?

Safari for macOS lets you view the kind of data cached locally by websites in your browser. Select Safari → Preferences → Privacy, and then click M to remove them, or even go nuclear and click Remove All.

Apple certainly encourages iOS and macOS users to take advantage of its iCloud services, which vary in cost. A lot of the services rely on iCloud storage, and they’re free…until you exceed the paltry 5GB of included service, at which point you pay monthly from $1 for 50GB to $10 for 1TB. That’s not a terrible lot, but 5GB doesn’t even cover the capacity of any of the iOS devices Apple sells. Other services, like iTunes Match ($25 per year) are not quite iCloud features, but rely on it.

reader Susan is still running iOS 10 and has apprehensions about upgrading to 11. She writes, “The information I find on iOS 11 suggests that it will automatically log me in to various things I do not use.especially too much storage of things in iCloud.”
