Backing Up an iPhone:


Best to Use Computer:

Use a computer for this, as it would be more user-friendly doing so. Connect your Mac to Ethernet, if WiFi is unsuccessful. You'd use this adapter if only USB-C Ports are on your Mac: The Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple




  • Cellular: You need to have 5G services, and an applicable model to perform this.  Important: Know that this may cause youto exceed your cellular data plan.
  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: [your name] (the top item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: iCloud Backup
  5. Tap: Backup Over Cellular (so that it is green)
