Insufficient storage for iPhone 16 backup I just purchase a IPhone 16 and it says that I don’t have enough storage to back up my phone. Both my phone and IPad Pro show 1.4 GB each out of 5 GB used?

You can free up storage by deleting data on iCloud. Go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Manage Storage, then select the type of data you want to remove. Then tap Delete Data. If you are disabling something like iCloud Photos, (by tapping Disable and Delete) you will have 30 days to download any data into files. You can do this at https://www.icloud.com/ . Hope this helps!
