i cant backup my @apple #iphone because of @apple @icloud #backup policies

when do apple think i would i want to do a backup ? wouldnt you think it would sensible to do a backup before a system update ! BUT NO apple backups may fail if you are not on the latest iOS release and give you a error msg saying

“this iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage available”

even if icloud itself says “7.5 MB of 5G used”

also check how many apps you have installed

apple backups will fail if you have > 5GB of apps since apple only allow you to backup 5GB for free (you have to pay an extra monthly charge to backup more)
