I have 2 128GB phones I back up to it, mine and Mrs. Flash's phone.

I just checked and I have 46.3 GB free, so I'm using 3.7 GB of the 50GB.

Both phones have around half of their built in memory free at this point, so I'm backing up 128GB of data.

Update-I got the screen fixed and everything transferred. Once the screen was fixed it was relatively painless. And the fix was half what I expected.

Definitely gonna back up everything religiously from now on!

What was the fix entail?

I once dropped my old iphone, which caused the screen to not respond to any touch, along with white lines going down the screen. I have some experience taking the phone apart, and what ended up it being was one of the ribbon connections got knocked loose.

I cannot imagine why anybody would do any differently.

99 cents a month if you surpass the free storage space is well worth the price.

When I dropped the phone (technically it was accidentally knocked from my hand) it landed glass down on a paved parking lot. A raised part of the asphalt struck right next to the home button and shattered the screen, despite the Otterbox and screen protector. I could not see anything. I paid $100 to have it replaced while I was working yesterday. I had full function and was able to transfer everything identically from one phone to the other. It was actually so much easier than I could’ve imagined.

Since they are giving me the $700 credit and my phone is so old I’m going to keep the new one and trade in the old one.

Any ideas what you have your eye on? I've read the iPhone 13's may be rolling out in Sept.
