Erase my new iPhone data (Stuck while transferring data from the old one)

Hello,

If I were to erase the data on my new iPhone, would it also erase the data on my old iPhone?

During the data transfer process via iCloud backup to my new iPhone, I encountered a problem. I stopped the transfer when it reached 50% by turning off the device. Afterward, I continued using my old iPhone. Now, I am ready to resume the data transfer to the new iPhone. However, I have concerns that restoring the new iPhone may result in the erasure or modification of my iCloud data. I turned on the new iPhone briefly to disable Wi-Fi, which halted the data transfer. I wish to restore it now in order to initiate the process again and ensure that I have the complete information from my old iPhone. It has been two weeks since the incident occurred, and I have been using the old iPhone during this period.

Successfully Re-Transferring to a New iPhone:

Two Methods...

A. iCloud:

Only what was transferred would have been deleted. So, enable items in iCloud on your old phone, and then enable these iCloud items On your new iPhone. Go to: Settings > Your Name > iCloud > Select Items to be uploaded (i.e. photos and contacts).

B. Quick Start:

When transferring, this is the link to use: Use Quick Start to Transfer Data to a New iPhone or iPad - Apple Support. So, reset your new iPhone to factory settings, and then perform Quick Start transfer.
