Buying iCloud storage won't solve your on phone storage UNLESS your photos are taking most of your space on the phone.


In that case, if you have iCloud, then you can choose to optimise phone storeage, and your photos will be stored full size in iCloud, and only lightweight viewable versions will be stored on the phone (you cannot delete these or they will also be deleted in iCloud)
