Transferring photos

All of my photos are obviously on my cloud, so they are on my phone, iPad, and Mac. I want to get a new phone but not have 1,500 photos on it to start. Is there a way to keep the photos everywhere but my phone?

Deleting photos from iphone after icloud upload I have 100 gigs of photos on my iphone 11. I could not transfer all my data to a new iphone 13. Last night I uploaded all 100 gigs of photos to icloud. I can see them on my computer via my icloud login. The photos are still on my phone 11 though which won't allow me to make the transition to a new phone 13. If I delete all the photos on the phone 11, will they also delete from icloud? And, if I sign in to the new phone 13 with my icloud account - will the photos from icloud be available on the new phone 13 since I would be signed into the phone 13 with the same icloud account that has all the photos uploaded from iphone 11?
