Different pricing on Dropbox Plus when billed through Apple iTunes
I see a charge of $12.96 on my card that mentions Apple and DB. Yet the DB site says that the plan costs $9.95/month. What is the difference? Is this an Apple surcharge, or something like local taxes? If I want to switch purely to a yearly plan through DB, how would I do that?

It will be taxes.
If you want to swap to a plan via the website you need to let Dropbox downgrade via the App Store (cancel it, wait for it to downgrade) and THEN upgrade.
If you want to just change to yearly there should be an option for that in the app store.
The 2TB & 3TB pricing plans seem counter-intuitive to me. The price per TB is $5/TB for the 2TB plan and $5.50/TB for the 3TB plan. So the more storage that I want to buy, the price will go up. My incentive is to use my space wisely to avoid having to upgrade. From what I have seen, most other clouds do the opposite.

The 3TB plan, which is called Professional and geared towards business users, also includes more features, a longer recovery period for deleted files, branding and more. The 2TB Plus plan is considered a personal plan.
What the plan is called is irrelevant to me. I'm not a professional, I'm just a regular customer. I'm only interested in how much I get charged for storage. My point is that increasing the cost as a customer increases their order is "biting the hand that feeds you".

You're paying for more than just storage with the business plans. Moving from the 2TB plan to the 3TB plan gets you more than just a storage increase, and the price reflects that.
