iphone backup is larger than its storage

"iphone backup is larger than its storage: When I make a backup from my 128GB iPhone 12 to my imac, I see that it is 130GB. How is this possible? And how can I fix it?"

Clear Space:

Is your iPhone 128GB? Never keep an iPhone 100% full --and the same apples to all mobile devices and computers. With no space, your device can overheat.

Caches may have intensely uploaded. So, clear them.

Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support

So, what to do...

Actually i had this situation, the problem is:

When i check my iphone's internal storage i see, around 80 gb stuff, but when i connect any kind of pc (mac and windows) it shows 105 gb of photos.

Even i check the icloud i can only see maximum 700 mb of data.

I mean there are extra 45 gb of photos i have that i cannot check from my mobile device.

I update the software nothing changed.

Backups always require some extra "overhead" storage. No way to change that.
