Apple extends complimentary iCloud storage upgrades until September 2013

Apple has been emailing previous MobileMe customers, including iMore's own writer-at-large, Chad Garrett, informing them that complimentary storage boost they received during the iCloud transition has been extended again, this time until September 2013. Here's the email:

When you moved your MobileMe account to iCloud, we provided you with a complimentary storage upgrade beyond the standard 5GB that comes with an iCloud account to help you with the transition. Originally, this storage upgrade was set to expire on September 30, 2012.As a thank you to our former MobileMe members, we will continue to provide you with this complimentary storage upgrade at no charge, for an additional year, until September 30, 2013. No action is required on your part. For complete details, please read this article.Thank you again for using iCloud,

There was some confusion/elation last week when a glitch caused the iCloud accounts of previous MobileMe subscribers to read 2050, but alas the real extension turns out to be far more temporally conservative.

Still, a nice to have. Anyone else get their extension letter yet?
