Hello all- I recently purchased the new MacBook today and before I migrated over, I had a question about backups. I have always backed up my iPhone on my MB Pro as just a personal preference. I always felt that it was more secure. I then back up the MB to an external drive through Time Machine.
Today I noticed that the (1) iPhone backup is taking up 97G of space. I have about 166 of 512G used on my iPhone 13. I always thought the backups were sized down much smaller than that, but apparently not.
Does that sound about right for sizing for (1) backup using that much data? If I switched to iCloud backup, I would end up having to pay another $10 for iCloud space. And then also rely on the cloud encryption instead of my local encryption.
Are there any benefits besides ease of use to backing up on iCloud and paying the extra storage $? Just curious the thoughts...Thanks!
