Hello mobinulmotin,


Your pictures are clear, yes, you have about 5 GB of space available for your backup, but the alert is clear, you don't have enough iCloud storage. This means the backup for even the smallest iPhone 14 model, 128 GB, isn't going to fit.


You need to exclude more items from your backup (just about everything,) or purchase more storage, or just backup to a computer.


Options 1: "Reduce the size of your iCloud Backup

When you back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iCloud, the most important information on your device is backed up automatically. Learn more about what iCloud backs up.

Many apps automatically back up to iCloud after you install them. You can decrease the size of your iCloud Backup and free up space in iCloud when you stop backing up apps that you don't use or delete old iCloud backups. 

Choose which apps to back up on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
  2. Tap Manage Account Storage or tap Manage Storage, then tap Backups.
  3. Tap the name of the device that you're using.
  4. Turn off any apps that you don't want to back up.
  5. Choose Turn Off & Delete.

When you confirm that you want to Turn Off & Delete an app, it turns off iCloud Backup for that app and removes all of its information from iCloud.

Some apps are always backed up and you can't turn them off."


Option 2: Upgrade to iCloud+ - Apple Support


Option 3: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Use the PC or Mac option only.


Thanks.
