After talking to applecare they told me to back up and restore to fix the problem. nothing I have done seems to have improved this/created a solution. Last week icloud then showed the message telling me the storage is full(for some reason the back up has grown to 6.2GB.

I managed to remove pretty much everything bar the bare essentials and it came in at 4.7GB.

THEN I noticed that after deleting the backup of the broken phone from icloud to run a new one, I noticed the new backup was about 1.5GB bigger than the old one even though it was all the same content.Ī few months ago I then upgraded to 4S and experienced the same issue again except this time the backup grew in size up to 5.1 from 3.5 - again, there was nothing that wasn't there before. Last year I had my phone replaced and when I restored from icloud backup it was going to take 4 hours!
