> $0.99/mo is "not insignificant"?

I'm pretty sure they didn't mean the 50GB tier. That amount is also basically useless. The 200GB tier might work, and that's an extra hundred bucks over the life of a phone. If you want to backup a phone and offload a reasonable chunk of photos, you're at the $10 tier and that's a lot of money over multiple years of ownership.

The entirety of my iCloud backups and Photos storage is about 175GB, and I have photos going back to 2008. I think 200GB is probably fine for way more people than you realize.

Many people, but that's still an extra hundred dollars per phone if you keep it for three years. And it would only take another 1-2 photos per day to push you into the $360 per phone tier.
