my old iPhone 7plus is broken and unusable however I’d like to transfer my pictures from my old phone to my new one. If I upgrade my iCloud storage to 200GB will my photos from my iPhone 7plus automatically transfer to my new phone and upload the moment I do? Or what can I do to have my old photos
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 12
If the photos were on the device (broken/unusable one) and hopefully you made a backup before it got like that, then you can try restoring from a backup on the new device. If you weren't previously using iCloud to store your photos and the photos were stored on the device with no backup, then they are permanently lost.
I wouldn't be able to say if 5GB is enough for your photos as it's a very subjective question and only relative to the person who the photos belong to. If the phone is broken you wouldn't be able to create a backup.

Remind me again - were the photos primarily on the device? Or were they in iCloud?
Im not sure if my broken phone is backed up it only had 5GB of iCloud in it I’m pretty sure that’s not enough right? and if ever how do I restore from a backup on the new device
