I'm unable to backup my iPhone as it does not have enough space My icloud backup should be less than 1gb but it will not back up because it says I don’t have enough space. There are no other backups saved on my icloud. Seems like Apple is just trying to scam me into paying for more storage. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

My phone won't backup to my iCloud. My iPhone backup requires 2.1GB, and I have 2.9GB available, but the phone continues to tell me that there is not enough storage. Why? Please help me figure out why my iPhone wrongly thinks there is insufficient storage space on my iCloud.
