Iphone 7 to 11

Good morning i have bought a new iphone 11 and when i am trying to set it up and transfer data and apps it says theres not enough space on the new phone


iphone 7 128gb

used 26gb


icloud 85gb of 200gb


iphone 11 64gb


I understand there is 85gb of icloud and only 64gb on the phone but im only transferring 26gb of data form my phone 7 i thought that was the whole point of icloud to store things up there so ur phone space is free hope this all makes sense thanks Tom

I would like you to realize and know one important thing and that is that there is NOTHING that you can do to increase the physical storage capacity of your iPhone. Your iPhone's storage capacity will forever remain the same as the day you bought it.


You can purchase ➔ iCloud Storage from Apple where you create and save your iPhone backups and synch (Not Store) your Messages, Photos, Contacts, Calendars, Notes and Reminders. Note that iCloud Storage is NOT an extension of storage capacity of your iPhone. Just wanted you to know some facts. Thanks.
