iCloud seems to do a fine job backing up photos and videos. When I get a new iPhone, I don't even take a manual backup -- I just login to iCloud and wait for everything to sync. iCloud restore populates all my apps, settings, photos, videos, etc. Apart from having to setup FaceID and re-enter passwords, it's like nothing changed.

But I can backup to my computer for free... I would have to pay $9.99 a month for 2TBs of iCloud storage....

  You have 8 256gb iOS devices?

    If you want more than 200GB, you have to get the 2TB plan. There's nothing in between.

> Apart from having to setup FaceID and re-enter passwords, it's like nothing changed. ...except for waiting (several) hours re-downloading things and blasting out the data limits on one’s broadband plan. A local sync with a computer has been much faster for me all the time when setting up a new phone.
