Free apps and storage you can use
- Built-in apps. Use Safari to browse, Mail for email, Photos to organize pictures, and Preview for images and PDFs.
- Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. Download them from the Mac App Store if they aren’t installed. Their basic document, spreadsheet, and presentation tools remain free. Some premium content and features require Apple Creator Studio.
- iCloud. An Apple Account gets 5 GB of free iCloud storage shared across the account. That storage can fill up with photos, files, and device backups. iCloud+ adds paid storage.
See Apple’s description of the free apps and Creator Studio subscription and Apple’s iCloud storage guide.
Warranty, support, and optional services
Most new Apple products include a one-year limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary technical support. Check the terms in your country, where you may also have rights under consumer law. Paid AppleCare coverage and subscriptions such as Apple Music are separate. If your order shows a trial, check the eligibility and renewal terms before redeeming it.
