Apple gives Greeks free iCloud access

Apple has allowed Greek iCloud users a month of free storage after capital controls issued by the Greek government prevented consumers from making transactions outside the country's borders. Capital controls meant that iCloud users were prevented from making credit card payments, with iPhone users unable to buy apps, iTunes music and pay for iCloud storage beyond the 5GB given for free. Many subscribers accounts were downgraded as a result of the controls.
Apple has now taken action and emailed iCloud customers. The email said: "To prevent interruption in your iCloud service during the current fiscal crisis, and to make sure you have access to your content, we’ve extended your iCloud storage plan for an extra 30 days at no additional cost."
