Reset a replacement iPhone

I received a replacement iPhone last week. I missed a step when setting it up, erase all content and settings. Can I do the steps again, including this step to reset/set up my replacement phone?

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Erase all Content and Settings, would be done on the device you replaced if possible, not on the replacement you received.


The Replacement, should have had nothing on it to be erased, as it likely was never setup to begin with, so Erasing all content and Settings would not be necessary for it.


You can always Erase all Content and Settings at any time from the Settings ➜ General ➜ Reset ➜ Erase All Content and Settings.
