Hello 32redx,
It sounds like you want to know how erasing your iPhone might effect other devices.
Here are some resources that can help:
- While erasing your iPhone won't effect other devices, if you have an Apple Watch and you are setting the iPhone up with a different Apple ID, you may want to Unpair and erase your Apple Watch.
- Furthermore, if you are going to use the phone with a different Apple ID, you may want to Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac.
- If you are using the same Apple ID, ensure that you know the Apple ID password, If you forgot your Apple ID password, before erasing to avoid potential Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
- If you are erasing the device to sell or give away, check out What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else.
Hope this information helps.
Have a good day.
