We have already reached to iPhone device limit so we are not able to add new iPhone to our developer accounts device list. We have renewed our membership for our apple's developer account. and it is asking us to reset our device list. but when we proceed to reset device list, but we are not able to remove device from device list. In first image it asks to select devices which you want to carry over to this membership year.

but on next page it is not changing the count of no of devices able to register

So it is confusing for me will it remove the deselected devices and let me add new devices instead of them or the it will just disable them.

I'm about to go through same process. The page is somewhat confusing unless you read all the info carefully. Those devices you check will be carried over and will keep counting towards total device count. Those devices you uncheck will be removed.

However, when I uncheck all the devices, I get this: enter image description here

This is super confusing. If I'm removing all the devices, I'm expecting the count to go all the way up to 100 again. Unless it tells me the count before reset, in which case this information only confuses the user, I want to see what device counts I get after I reset.

Update

So I went ahead and reset the list. Once you do that, you get this page: enter image description here

So apart from a bit confusing message before hitting reset, it works OK.

Just need to remember that to remove a device you need to uncheck it.
