if i delete my contacts through icloud on my new iphone will it delete my contacts on the old one?

Welcome to the Apple community.

If the contacts on both phones are part of your iCloud account, then yes deleting them on your new phone will delete them on the old one.

If you don't wish to have the contacts on your new phone or wish to have a different set of contacts on your new phone, then disable contact syncing in settings > iCloud. Of course by doing this any contacts you have on your new phone will be on your new phone only and will not sync to any other device.

I recently had my iPhone stolen. I am hoping that by doing the same thing on my new iPhone I will delete my contacts and calendar schedule from my stolen iPhone. I deleted all contacts thru iCloud on my new device then changed my password for iCloud. When I re-signed in on my new phone my contacts came back....and I'm hoping they won't on the stolen phone 🙂
