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.

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