iphone
Last year I bought a new iphone7 and I still have my old 5c which I am going to sell. I am looking to reset the phone completely, but as my iphone ID is the same on both phones, will all my data be also lost on the 7?

Why not consider having an online echat with Apple support or indeed set up a call for them to ring you to discuss your question? They are the experts and the relatively high cost of your iPhone gives you direct access to this kind of support. I have numerous Apple products and find their online/telephone support excellent.

Some recommend filling the entire memory with songs or videos first to overwrite all data so it cannot be recovered.

No, your iPhone 7 will be unaffected. First switch off 'find my iPhone' on the 5c, then sign out of your Apple ID on that phone. Having done that, you can reset the phone (hidden in the 'General' section in settings) and you've got an empty phone.
