Hello,
iCloud back up is 300gb but I have a 250 new iPhone. Is it possible to leave pictures in the cloud and still get everything else while leaving large video and pictures in the cloud.
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14
Hi Gfunk789,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're having an issue with managing iCloud Storage. We're happy to help.
Take a look at the section "Manage your iCloud Backup" from our article here: Manage your iCloud storage You can also view helpful information for iCloud photos in the same article. Check the section "Reduce the size of your iCloud Photos" for details.
Cheers!

Hi Gfunk789,
Thanks for the information. We'd recommend checking out the options found here: Move from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a lower capacity device Specifically the "Photos and videos" section. If needed, you can import some of the photos to a computer and then transfer your data to your new iPhone.
Best!
Back up to a computer instead of iCloud.
This does not help. I have plenty of space in cloud. But when I sync new phone it tries to download everything onto my phone leaving me with no phone storage on my device
I backed up to hard drive but when I use Apple ID on new phone it attempts to download 300gb worth of photos on new device but I don’t have enough storage on new device
New iPhone setup iCloud backup Large file size
