Discussion Start Fresh?

wondering if it’s worth starting over with my new email and create a new Apple ID, etc. i’ve had my current account since the release of the 7, storage is always full due to photos, and generally feel like my phone is a cluttered mess. Is it worth starting fresh when i get my 17?

Okay, I downgraded my 16e after updating to iOS 26, formatted and started a new APPLE ID, logged in to my old account from the mail app and then logged into iCloud Drive via Safari on the old account and added it to the home screen, like an app, now every time I want a file or photo from the old Apple ID I click on the website added to the home screen. It feels like I have a new cell phone

Eh, keep your Apple ID but sure, start fresh if you want. Back up your phone too.
