Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Since purchase, my iPhone 12 iCloud backup fails, despite only 39,24 MB of 5 GB shown as used.
I tried to reset my device, etc. but the device does no iCloud backup, and I keep getting the message that my device's backup failed.
What can I do? The next Apple store is a day's travel away...
iPhone 12
For 3,9 GB to back up, I need more than 5 GB? That sounds irrational.
Then backup to a computer is the best option without being pressured into paying for an irrational service requirement.
Thanks again for your help.

post a screenshot of the bar chart in
Settings, General, iPhone Storage
and the first 5 apps further down.
Here's a screenshot of iCloud...
And here's a screenshot of the iPhone's storage...
5GB is not much for a backup.
Upgrade to 50GB and try again.
I don't store photos, videos or music on my device, so 5GB should be far more than sufficient. I also don't download video games or software.
Increase your icloud Storage to icloud+ 50GB
There are 1,1 GB available in iCloud, so why pay for something I don't need?
Incorrect, you need more than that.
Nobody is pressurising you, you can back up to a computer for free.
It will cost you less than €1 to find out if I'm right.
Marking that post as the solution will help nobody.
It will help those who find it equally hard to believe that 3,9 GB of data won't fit into a 5 GB storage facility.
You really think you can backup 4GB on top of another 4GB backup with only 1GB working storage?
Don't reply, I'm no longer following.
Indeed, I really think Apple would be clever enough to only update what has changed, instead of backing up an entirely dataset every time. That would be most peculiar.
