load new iphone with apps and info except pics and videos from icloud

Hi, I have a iphone7 256 Gb that is not working properly, no connection with the 4G/5G network with a Swedish subscription, so most probably I need to do a factory settings rebooth. To do that and to be able to send the phone for repair if necessary, I got an extra iphone7 32 Gb and I want to mirror my 256 Gb phone into my 32Gb, from iCloud, except pics and videos. I have about 140 Gb in my iCloud, mostly pics and videos. I want to mirror only the apps from the iCloud into the 32Gb reserve iPhone7 and not the pics and videos, but I do not want to erase them fomr iCloud... How do I do that?

Regards,

Alvaro

iPhone 7, iOS 13

Hi AlvaroSwe,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with your iPhone 7. It sounds like you need to move to a lower capacity device temporarily.


This article will help optimize and manage your storage: Move from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a lower capacity device. The actual apps don't take up your iCloud storage, but your app data will. It's very likely you will only need to be concerned about pictures and videos.


We'd also advise checking your iPhone 7 to see if it qualifies for this: iPhone 7 Repair Program for "No Service" Issues.


Have a fantastic day!
