Hello all,
I've owned iPhones since the 3G, and have NEVER had issues with iCloud backups until post-9.2.
The issue..? It would appear iCloud insists on keeping EVERY daily backup and does not seem to be deleting the older backups to make space.
Symptoms..? When I moved from iOS 8 to 9, I had to delete my pre-iOS9 backup from iCloud (known issue), and create a new backup. This was AGES ago, and since then, I keep noticing that after a few weeks, I start getting warnings about the fact that iCloud cannot perform backups because there isn't enough space. Despite removing a whole host of applications from the backup schedule (I've never backed up Photos or Music to iCloud), I cannot seem to keep up with this need for more and more space...
Any clues?
