> probably DeviceCheck, which gives you 2 bits to store “fraud” related flags

Does resetting your iPhone (Erase All Content and Settings) clear out data like that?

Does doing a restore from backup put that data back on your iPhone?

The linked article says the 2 bits are stored on Apple’s servers.

I.e. they could persist even if the device were bit-for-bit reset to factory state.
