What am I doing wrong? Can not imagine needing any more space than I have. Considering I can still free up a ton of space removing apps, I am really perplexed at how people need so much space. My photos just back up to my macbook. My passwords are stored in last pass. What am I at risk of losing by not backing up?

I pay $100 a year for 2 TB between me and my wife. It’s worth it for sure. Don’t ever have to worry about space

iCloud backs up the oldest first, iirc. So, once you’ve maxed your free iCloud data, you’re not backing up anything (photos, music, contacts, etc.). At this point, you’re just at the mercy of the iPhone gods that you don’t drop your phone in water, break it, or anything stupid like that. I resisted for the longest time until I realized just how many pictures and tunes I have on my phone that I wouldn’t ever want to lose. You can also access all of that via the iCloud website with your Apple ID and download to a hard drive if you want. I don’t know why you’re asking us though, you’re the IT guru.

Edit: didn’t read your post well enough. iCloud backs up all of your apps, notes, iBooks, everything. You’re entire phone. So if something happens, you’re good. You don’t lose anything. Especially if you purchase a lot of that stuff that isn’t backing up to your computer and whatnot.

It is the messages that kills everyone. They don’t back up to the cloud. So messages with pics and videos eats up all your space.
