Erasing old iPhone without effecting new

I’ve an old iPhone 6 and I want to reset and erase it as if it was brand new, I’m using my iPhone 7 currently and I was wondering if doing this would effect my new phone including iCloud, would It delete anything from my current phone or iCloud ?

Thanks

iPhone 7

no, resetting an ios device or macOS device will not effect other ios and mac devices using the same appleID
