iCloud stores your photos, documents and more, and wirelessly pushes them to all your devices. Automatic, effortless and seamless — it just works.
Photo Stream
Snap. And it’s everywhere.
With Photo Stream, you can take a photo on one iOS device and it automatically appears on all your other devices, including your Mac or PC. Import new pictures to your computer from a digital camera, and iCloud sends copies over Wi-Fi to your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. There’s no syncing, no email attachments, no file transfers. Your pictures are just there — on whichever device you happen to have handy.
Take or import a photo.
See it on all your devices.
Documents in the Cloud
Start here. Finish there.
You can create amazing documents and presentations on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. And now with iCloud, you can keep your work up to date across all your iOS devices. You don’t have to save your work or transfer any files. Your documents — with all your latest edits — automatically appear everywhere. iCloud is already built into Apple iOS apps like Keynote, Pages and Numbers. It can also work with other iCloud-enabled apps. So you can do things like create a spreadsheet on your iPad and make edits to it on your iPhone. Or start sketching on your iPod touch and add the finishing touches on your iPad at home.
Create or edit a document.
It stays up to date on all your iOS devices.
Apps
All your apps. Always at hand.
If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you have apps. And you probably download new ones all the time. iCloud lets you automatically download new app purchases to all your devices at once. So the app you need is always right where you need it. If an app you bought previously isn’t on one of your devices, not to worry. You can download it again from your purchase history — at no additional charge.1
iBooks
All your devices are on the same page.
Buy a new book from the iBookstore, and iCloud makes sure it appears everywhere — your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. So if you have to put it down, you can pick it back up on another device, in exactly the same place. In addition to the best-seller you’re glued to at the moment, the iBooks app keeps a list of titles you’ve read before. And just as with apps, you can download them again to any of your devices. 1

Calendar, Mail and Contacts
Up-to-date everything.
iCloud stores all the stuff you can’t live without — your contacts, calendars and email — and keeps it up to date across all your devices. Say you delete an email, add a calendar event or change some settings. iCloud makes all your changes everywhere. Same with your notes, reminders and Safari bookmarks.
iCloud backs up your:
- Purchased apps and books
- Photos and video in the Camera Roll
- Device settings
- App data
- Home screen and app organisation
- Messages (iMessage, MMS and SMS)
- Ringtones
Backup
iCloud saves the day.
iCloud backs up your iOS device every day over Wi-Fi when it’s connected to a power source. From your Camera Roll and messages to your device settings and ringtones, everything is backed up quickly and efficiently. And since iCloud is built into iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, you can restore your personal data on a new iOS device or one you already have without using a single cable.2 iCloud does it all for you over Wi-Fi.
