Removing content from old iphone

I got a new iPhone and want to remove all the pics and contacts from my old phone before sending it back. How do I do this without removing these things from my new phone?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 15

So, do you not want to back up this data? If so, skip the backup, and just perform the format. Perform as instructed here, including the iCloud sign out: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade In your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
