Does old phone need to be backed up after transferring data to replacement?

[AnnaKay]

Just had my iPhone 13 Pro replaced via Apple. I've already Do I need to backup the old phone before erasing it? I'd love to save storage soace but don't want to leave any data behind.

Also, how can I access my full backup history and see each backup that exists? The solution I found, Settings>iCloud>Manage Account Storage>Backups snows only the latest backups for each device.

Thanks in advance!

Only if you want to use the backup to transfer data to a new phone.

I don’t believe iCloud backups store a history of backups for each device. If you want to delete a backup for a device you no longer have, you can follow the instructions on this page.

View and manage iCloud device backups

Delete an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch backup to free up iCloud storage space.

Thank you @Bigwaff . For some reason, I had thought that multiple backups were stored for each device, similar to the third party backup services.
