2.99 a month gives 200gb of icloud, a no brainer tbh, or you could pay 99c a month for 50GB

Yes I will buy more space, but if I buy the 50gb and back up my iPhone 11 then reset the iPhone 8 will everything on my 11 be safe

So I’ve bought the 50gb iCloud storage and backed my new phone up , am I now ok to factory reset my old phone ? I’d be devastated if I lost my photos lol

Ok so, if you have all your photos on your iphone 11 and if that's now backed up making sure you have your photos included in your back up, then yes you can proceed with resetting your iphone 8. Also, when you go into settings on your iphone 11, click on your name on the top, then icloud, manage storage, and backups, that should then show you the devices which are backed up to your icloud, you should have your 8 and 11 in there.

Thanks for your help , my iPhone 11 is now backed up and iPhone 8 reset. And yes I have my iPhone 6/8 and 11 in there, is it ok to remove the 6 and 8 from that list now ? It’ll free up some space ? Thanks again

yeah, remove the 6 and the 8, they are no use to you now as you have your 11 backed up now with everything you need
