I have a question about iCloud backups for iPhones, possibly only relating the iPhone X, not sure. I have always managed to get by with the free 5GB to backup both my iPhone and iPad, as I don't backup my photos or other too heavy things, maybe a few docs, but that's not even in MBs.
However, since the latest iOS updates my iphone X backup has gone up from around 1.5GB on 27 Jan to well over 4GB over the weekend. I have barely used the phone in the last couple of weeks to be honest. Any idea why the increase? This means I can no longer backup my phone without paying... which is not the end of the world, but would be good to know why the sudden increase.
Like I said, the only change is I have updated to the latest iOS, but I thought iOS and apps don't count towards the iCloud storage limit? As in they are unlimited no matter how many ot how big the apps are?
I have checked the usage etc and nothing jumps out as being extremely big, there is an AR app that I never use and that ate up about 1GB of storage including user data, but I have deleted it and the backup size hasn't gone down by about 20omb, so clearly not the cause here...
