iPhone 13 iCloud almost full warning forces me to switch to Samsung later

I don't keep anything but email in my iCloud account. I back up my devices to my local machine and don't keep Photos or anything else in the cloud.
Then you have your answer. I always choose the least annoying option without hesitation.
And what cloud service are you going to use with that Samsung phone? I’m curious…
If s22 fe has plus big screen version and around half price of coming non pro max, I will try it even if the quality is not as good as Apple lol half price has nothing much to lose anyway lol
Firstly, you check for yourself if you know you're a heavy user of cloud based storage.
Notify me once, and then give me an option to toggle off and on future notifications for those who need that reminder?
Once you know you are close to being full, you can take the appropriate measures to either buy more storage or delete.
I don't need to be reminded every day.
I'm not sure why you don't just pay the $1 a month for more storage. It's only $12 a year. You can't even get lunch for $12 in some places anymore!
My 4g plan with 120gb, 10k minutes, voice message is just $40 per year, why would I pay 25% of my 4g plan just to backup WhatsApp?
Because they cover different things. DO whatever makes you happy.
Why would I pay $100 for an oil change when my car payment is $300?
Same thing.
If you get your Samsung degoogled that's great otherwise it doesn't make sense to give up privacy for some extra gigabytes of space.
Messages, Dialer apps sent text, call info to Google
Hashed text, phone call logs collected without opt-out nor specific notice
This is a silly way to think about it. Once you're paying the dollar a month you have a lot more storage available. You can switch on iCloud Photos, and use iCloud Drive to store more content. It doesn't have to be just about getting backups to work.
I have more than 200gb in Google photo, that iCloud price is more than a cheap phone per year.

Are you sure CIA FBI cannot direct access your data, camera, microphone of your iPhone? LOL
OK and? If you need more storage, it's dirt cheap. If you just want to complain and tell us you're buying Android... why should we care? 50g is (in the US at least) 99 cents per month. Whinging about that and switching platforms to avoid paying it seems... well.. trollish. No one here really cares if you (or I) use ios or moves.
I already said I need bigger screen phone and non pro max will be so expensive, FE Plus would be like half price of it.
You keep making reference to an Android device that isn't even released yet, why?. What's wrong with Realme ? Its even cheaper below $400 for big screen and OLED.
The camera, long term patch of Chinese brands are still not Samsung level
You're clearly not happy with Apple; why don't you just get the android phone you want then?
I've never used WhatsApp, but is there a setting to delete messages after a certain period? This could provide an easy storage reduction that operates autonomously. I've hardly been in a situation where I need a text from months/years ago, but that could just be due to limiting important conversations to modes with easier record-keeping.
Yeah, it’s kind of painful.
I’m personally unsubscribing from this thread. Nothing new to add and we’ve all provided more than enough input IMHO.
