hi! i recently changed from my old iphone to my new iphone 12 and my old iphone backup is using up 1.5 GB of my storage. if i delete and turn off the backups of my old iphone will i loose everything like my photos, contacts, information etc on my new iphone? Or will everything stay the same and my storage will just go down? thanks

Yes -- see this from my previous reply:
Deleting an iCloud Backup will not remove any data from either your old or new iPhone. It only deletes the backup from iCloud.
