Restoring iPhone when no backup is available? I recently had my iPhone stolen and I just got a new one. I tried restoring from iCloud but I get the message "no backups available". However, when I sign into icloud.com, everything is there (photos, contacts, notes, etc). A lot of this stuff is also available to me on my mac. I feel like there has to be a way to get this onto my new phone but I'm not sure how. Any advice?

Backup mystery I have used iPhones for many years, dating back to the first one. I currently have an iPhone 11Pro. It has always been set to store a backup in iCloud, and I check that every few months to make sure that the settings are correct and that nothing has changed. Yesterday I had an issue and Apple tech asked me to do a factory restore. I checked the iCloud backup settings and everything was in the green, so I went ahead. Now, when I went to restore the phone in iTunes, it says there has NEVER been a backup of this phone. WTF???? Is there some mysterious step I need to take to find my backup? I upgraded to the iPhone 11Pro from an iPhone 7+ in November and it allowed me to backup from the iPhone 7 using an iCloud backup. Now it seems to show that I have no backups available whatsoever. I'm really annoyed by this and hope there's a solution that won't require me to restore everything manually.
