Backup

I got a new iPhone, because my old backup is still saved there’s not enough storage to do a new backup. If I delete my old backup, will everything still be saved on my phone and then I can do a new backup? Thank you!

Yes, you can delete the backup from the previous phone in order to make room for the backup of the new phone. That will not delete any content from the new phone. I would make sure that everything came over from the old backup first, assuming that you restored the new phone from the old phone backup.


I would also suggest backing up the new phone immediately after deleting the old phone backup, just to be safe.
