It’ll be interesting if Cloudflare or someone else can release numbers on how many hits they’re getting from Private Relay. I’ve always been curious how many people pay the $2 per month for iCloud.

iCloud backup alone is worth it. If you have nightly backups and lose your phone you can just buy a new one and restore.

FWIW, I’ve paid for iCloud for years, no intention to turn the private relay on. That said, if Apple defaults it to on then probably 95% or more of users will leave it enabled.

So it's basically the same as other commonly used messaging services such as email, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram (outside of Secret Chats)?

You can choose whether or not to back up messages.

Or you can just sync to your other devices, which doesn't require payment.
