iCloud Now Available Without Apple Devices

It’s been a long time coming, but Apple’s iCloud internet service is now available to everyone – even those without Apple hardware.

As noticed by Macrumors, people can now navigate to the iCloud Beta site and sign up for an iCloud account.

If this doesn’t sound newsworthy to you, you may not be aware that until now, signing up for iCloud required an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Seriously. In 2015. I’m not joking, try to create an iCloud account on a PC, you can’t.

Apple has long claimed to be serious about web services. It’s nice to see them finally so close to implementing the basic act of signing up for an account.
