iCloud backup

I recently got the new iPhone 14 plus and it says your data is ready to be moved to your new iPhone. This iCloud backup will be delete in 21 days. I think I finished transferring everything from my old phone to new but I don’t know what this means?

It means what it says. The iCloud backup file that you used to move data from your "old" phone to your "new" phone will be deleted in 21 days.


But, you won't need it since you will be starting new backups, if you have not already done so.

Apple gives free temporary iCloud storage to use when transferring to a new phone. If you've transferred everything to the new phone, the automatic deletion of the backup of the old phone won't cause you any problem.
