Are you using the free version of iCloud that comes with 5GB of space for backups? If you are, then you will never have enough space on iCloud to backup your iPhone given today’s data consumption.

Think of iCloud as a syncing service. What you have on your iPhone will be synced to iCloud. You control the space needed on iCloud by not syncing everything on your iPhone. As you will soon notice, you will get to a point where even that will not be enough.

Long story short, if you are using the free version of iCloud with 5GB of space, the it will be in your best interest if you purchased a subscription for a larger amount of iCloud space. Of course, you can avoid purchasing and backing up to iCloud by backing up your iPhone on a computer periodically.
