"I have almost 50Gb of free Dropbox storage btw, through referrals + events like the space race.!" which, I can assure you[0], the significant amount of Dropbox users don't have.
So, Google wins on free tier, but Apple takes it on options and cost thereafter, and 15GB arguably is still insufficient for "OS storage" in any real tangible terms.
[0] no I don't have data. I do know plenty of Dropbox users though, and next to none of them have any extras.
For cost comparison (UK pricing);
iCloud: 50GB: £0.79 200GB: £2.49 1TB: £6.99 2TB: £13.99
Google Drive: 100GB: £1.59 1TB: £7.99
