Email Storage Reduction on a Large Scale
In the ever-evolving world of technology, it's essential to stay informed about the changes in our favourite digital services. Here's a roundup of recent updates regarding email storage capacities and digital regulations affecting some popular platforms.
As of mid-2025, the free email storage space offered by leading providers has seen some shifts. Gmail and Outlook continue to lead the pack, both offering 15 GB of free storage space, albeit shared with other services such as Google Drive and Google Photos, or OneDrive, respectively [2][4].
Apple's iCloud Mail, on the other hand, offers a more modest 5 GB of free storage, which is shared with other iCloud services and can be upgraded for a fee [2][4]. However, this reduction in free storage may prompt users to consider switching email services, especially in light of Yahoo's recent decision to cut its free email storage from 1 TB to just 20 GB [1][3].
Yahoo Mail's reduction in free storage space is significant, placing it below the previously generous offering of 1 TB. This change means that users who exceed the new 20 GB limit will be unable to send or receive emails unless they delete old content or subscribe to a higher plan. Paid tiers start at $1.99/month for 100 GB and $9.99/month for 1 TB [1][3].
Meanwhile, in the gaming industry, Electronic Arts (EA) has announced that there will be no price hike for Battlefield 6 or other games, acknowledging that $70 is already considered high for many gamers [5].
Elsewhere in the tech world, companies like Meta and Temu are facing regulatory challenges. Beneath the surface of Meta's AI and metaverse ambitions, the company remains rooted in its core business model of advertising [6]. Meta's Q2 earnings indicate that the company is still heavily reliant on advertising revenue.
Temu, on the other hand, is facing potential fines due to its run-ins with the EU's digital rules [7].
In the realm of cryptocurrencies, Ghana is planning to regulate crypto exchanges, a move that could reshape how crypto works across West Africa [8]. The use of mobile crypto wallets requires a balance between convenience and mindfulness regarding security, as they offer convenience for managing digital finances but may compromise security [9].
Lastly, no further information has been provided about a newsletter's website or its content [10]. This news piece will be updated as more information becomes available.
