Removing iPhone from iCloud

Hi,

If I remove / delete my old iPhone from iCloud account (as no longer using the handset and want to get rid of it), would I lose all the photos from my old iPhone that are saved on iCloud....?

Photos - discard old iPhone Hi All, I have recently purchased a new iPhone, and transferred contents (e.g. Photos) to the new device. Now I would like to sell the old device (iPhone 6s), and need your inputs about the ideal process. Is it safe (without also deleting photos from other device), to do the following: Turn off Photos from iCloud (from the old device) Reset (erase all content & settings) from old device Would this ensure that the photos and other content gets deleted from the older device, & is still available on the new phone (and iCloud) ? Any ideas & suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Pranav

Upgraded from iPhone XS Max to 13 Pro Max - How to Keep Wipe Old Phone Without Removing from New Hello! I just got the new iPhone 13 Pro Max after upgrading from the iPhone XS Max. I used iCloud to copy over the old phone to the new one. Now how do I go about wiping the old phone without removing everything from the new one? I went in my old phone and deleted an old photo and then after a few minutes it removed it from my new one. How do I make sure I don't lose years of photos when I trade it in? Thanks, Mark
