L4sBotApple hit with class action lawsuit over iCloud's 5GB limit
BrkdncrI hate this the most about my iPhone. I’m currently on my 3rd Apple device, but you don’t get more storage every time you buy one. So if you have an iPhone and an iPad you’re still stuck with 5gb, and it’s shared with you backups and your cloud-based apps like photo sync, message sync. That 5gb is gone pretty quick.
It’s easy enough to sync photos elsewhere, but not messages. So the $1/mo storage upgrade becomes really attractive.
I hope this opens up their backup service but I doubt it.
Apple gives you free iCloud storage to back up your phone when you get a new device.

You can also sync phone to phone when upgrading as part of the setup assistant, without needing iCloud storage.
Get temporary iCloud storage when you buy a new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
When you buy a new iPhone or iPad, you can get temporary iCloud storage to transfer data from your current device to your new one. Learn if you’re eligible, how to create a temporary backup, and how long your temporary backup is available.
You don’t get “more” storage though. And if you have even just one iPad your storage is gone really quick between the two devices.
Oh it’s good to know. Thanks
