iPhone backup

I don't get it... my old iPhone 11 64 GB made backup in iCloud (50 GB plan) - there was enough space for everything! Now I have my new iPhone 15 Pro 256 GB and I have an announcement that there is not enough iCloud storage available. But how?? Everything that was in the old phone was transferred to the new one - this means that the amount of data is the same, but now I cant backup my new phone. Where is the problem?


iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Ok, I found the solution myself. Fun!

I had to delete the backup of the old phone from iCloud. And then I could put the new phone backup on.

I thought it was automatic - the data is transferred to the new phone, but no...

Ok, the data went automatically to the new phone, but the backup of the old phone remained in iCloud.

So yes, I found solution, yeah!
