heyyy guys! I recently had an issue with my iPhone 13 where my phone storage was overflowing. I decided to get iCloud+ to back up my data in case anything went wrong, but when I did, a good amount of storage was opened up. This meant I could update my phone to iOS 26, which I did causing a ton of junk data to be removed.
my question now is: what happens when my iCloud+ runs out? I might get a new phone soon, and it'd be 256 or 512gb compared to the 128 I have now. My iPhone storage is sitting at about 77/128. My iCloud is at 66/200gb. Ive heard multiple things about the data staying but further backups won't happen, while other people say the data gets deleted (idk if it's removed off iCloud or removed entirely).
id really appreciate if someone could educate me on this lol ❤️
