How can I restore my device to iCloud account?

I had two apple devices connected to one icloud account.


iphone 4 -

iphone 6 - Unfortunately this was water damaged and couldn't be restored. By the time this was water damaged, I had data on icloud account.


Recently, when I logged in, again, I missed the fact that i had the iphone 6 also linked. To free up the space, I accidentally removed the device. Once the aftermath was done, now I do not have the ip6 data on iCloud, neither have the phone. ip4 data still exists.


Now the question, though a long shot, is Apple Support team able to add the device back to my account, based on the historical information they have about it?


Thanks

No.


Only you can add a device back onto your iCloud account, Apple cannot do it for you.


You need to access the device, and log in to your iCloud account directly on it.



With that said, removing a device from your account, does not delete any data on iCloud and does not save any space.


Did you actually delete the device, or did you just delete its backup?


What exactly did you do?

Is that what you did?
