Some iPhone users feedback that they have purchased iCloud storage or updated their storage plans, but iPhone continues to get a message that iPhone doesn't have enough space. iPhone stores the files both on iCloud Storage and iPhone disk storage, iCloud storage cannot extend your iPhone storage to iCloud storage.
iCloud storage is used for backup and data synchronization, storing only files such as photos from iCloud photo Library, contacts, notes and some iCloud shared application data. And you can view and manage the iCloud Storage on iPhone. Apple ID —> iCloud --> Manage storage
The iPhone's disk storage depends on the iPhone model you purchased. Currently, all iPhones have only four capacities: 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB.
