    iPhone SE (2022) iCloud Backup Size Seems Too Small?

    Running a brand new SE 3, upgraded from SE 2. How is my iCloud backup so small even though the photo album is so large (relatively)? My last backup from the SE 2 before updating was 2.9 GB. Is this lower number due to indexing or something about having a new phone?
