help Apple Photos FAQ
How much iCloud photo storage do I get before I have to pay?
Every Apple ID includes 5 GB of free iCloud storage, which fills quickly with photos and videos. Upgrading to iCloud+ starts at 50 GB for US$0.99 per month in the United States, with larger tiers for heavier photo libraries.
Can Apple Photos edit RAW photo files, or do I need Lightroom?
Yes, Photos can import and edit RAW images, including Apple ProRAW shots taken on iPhone 12 Pro and later models. Serious retouchers still often move to Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop for layers and fine control, but basic adjustments and organisation are handled well in Photos.
If I delete a photo on my iPhone, will it disappear from iCloud too?
Yes, with iCloud Photos enabled your library syncs across devices, so a deletion removes the photo everywhere. Photos sit in the Recently Deleted album for 30 days before being permanently erased, giving you a recovery window.
