iphone 16 icloud backup ios 18.3.2 (don’t have enough storage)

iPhone 16 IOS 18.2.3 iCloud backup failed. I have enough storage. The backup was working before the last 2 updates. Relevant photos are below.


only wallet, keychain and contacts are marked for backup. There is enough space on the device it self. Have signed out of iCloud and back on. Have gone to iCloud on the web and checked.


‘this issue came up about 2 years ago and went all the way up the technical chain to the main engineers. All of a sudden my account was working again.


ideas here?



iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

Well either buy more icloud storage so you can continue sync and back up to the cloud, or leave it as is.

Your screenshot tells you exactly what needs to be done.

I received my iPhone 16 in January... since then I've run into this issue 3 times. Each time required a restore. They are now escalating it. I'll post back if / when I found out what the issue is. I never had this issue until the new iPhone..
