Apple To Bundle iCloud For Free With OS X Lion

Apple may offer its new iCloud service for free to folks with Mac OS X Lion, according to AppleInsider. To sweeten the deal, Lion may be priced extremely competitive and sold through the Mac App Store.

The company is expected to introduce the latest version of OS X, iOS 5 and a new iCloud service at WWDC next week. OS X Lion is no secret. The desktop software is available as a closed beta and details have been unveiled both by Apple and loose-lipped developers. If this competitive pricing rumour pans ut, Apple could release Lion for $US30 or less. This low pricing is not unusual. Back in 2009, Apple released the Snow Leopard upgrade for $US30.

      Usually they do give you a free upgrade if you bought a Mac recently. Keep an eye out.

        how recent is ‘recent’? I got the latest MBP refresh back in March and really don’t want to shell out for Lion (although a $30 price point would defs make me considering buying it anyway on day 1)
