If you are an iCloud power user or have a data-hungry family group, you may find the 2 TB storage plan insufficient for your needs. However with Apple One, there's a way to double that cap. Here's how.
You will need to combine the 2 TB storage plan for iCloud+, and the highest-tier Premier plan of the Apple One subscription service -- for a total of $39.94.

The Premier tier also includes subscriptions to all other Apple services offered, like Apple TV , Apple News , and Apple Arcade.
