Would deleting backup from my old iPhone also delete data from my new iPhone? Hi, I have brought a new iPhone and I have transferred all my data to the new phone. The backup of my old phone is taking up over half of my 5GB iCloud storage. I was wondering if deleting the backup of my old phone would delete the data this includes on my new phone such as contacts or messages. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
