iOS 16 Beta 2 Adds Support for Backing Up Over LTE

Huh, I didn’t even know this was an option over 5G already. Most backups may still happen over WiFi anyway, but it seems like a good option when away from home and hotel WiFi isn’t cutting it.

Starting at 90 Euro here so unfortunately it depends on where u live

Where is ‘here’? If I’m correct, you’re in Germany. O2’s unlimited at 500mb/s is half of that. I’m actually on an unlimited 500mb/s contract from them for 10€ a month, if I take out the monthly cost of the phone which came with the contract.

In the USA my prepaid plan is $25/mo + taxes for unlimited calls & texts +5GB data which is a pretty good deal for me. I never come close to using all the data but it is nice to have when my internet goes down and I need to hot spot.

But then you have to deal with o2 where 5 people (exaggerating) in one spot means = no data

Haha I know what you mean - happened a few times, but not a big deal in the grand scheme.

Would love to have the option of restoring from iCloud backup using data. Having a phone restored or replaced at the Apple store and then having to wait to get your data back across to have a useable phone is pretty frustrating.

Even have it behind a disclaimer that requires passcode or similar to verify that there may be additional costs to those who don't have unlimited plans.

Very welcome move. Happy to see it being implemented.

This is a great addition!
