European leaders have finally agreed to a bailout plan with Greece this morning. The country’s financial crisis at one point capped how much cash citizens could withdraw daily, so Apple has decided to help its customers out by providing one free month of iCloud to current subscribers.
In an email to customers, Apple says it won’t attempt to charge iCloud subscribers until 30 days after their original renewal date. An Apple spokesperson told CNBC that Apple’s “sympathies are with our customers in Greece who have experienced an interruption in their iCloud accounts as a results of the fiscal crisis.”
Here’s the email Apple sent to Greek iCloud subscribers:
Dear iCloud customer,
To prevent interruption in your iCloud service during the current fiscal crisis, and to make sure you have access to your content, we’ve extended your iCloud storage plan for an extra 30 days at no additional cost.
We won’t attempt to charge you for your plan until 30 days after your original renewal date. If we are unable to renew your plan, you may need to reduce the amount of iCloud storage you use.

And Greece has already asked for an extension. They would like 10 years of iCloud service in exchange for an IOU to pay at some later date to be negotiated by bureaucrats from 3 dozen different countries (all of which were at one time at war with each other).
You’re not funny. You’re not politically correct. You’re not a man. You’re a money chimp. And everyone agreing with you.
Isn’t it funny? That even after the IMF made an official statement (a few days ago) that Greeces debt IS NOT viable and needs a haircut, it is a part of the new bailout program?
Why would they accept? I mean if they know beforehand that they will never get their money back! Obviously there is a hidden agenda.
I pray and hope that we (Greeks) will through the deal in the trashcan and start printing our own money. This was not the Europe we were promised. Im not implying we were model citizens. It was the people who elected our corrupted governments and never ever did we do anything to stop them. These assholes dragged our country into this shit-hole. Tsipras was maybe the only p.m. that had good intentions, surrounded by a group of young and educated people. The problem was that it was already too late. Also he did some “fancy” political moves but then stopped in fear of I don’t know what. Drachma? (new currency?)
Whatever…
