I erased all content and settings on my iPhone, and the Find My iPhone activation lock was disabled (no activation lock). So … Why is it still listed in iCloud Settings, Devices? The info blurb on Devices page says that it's listing the devices still signed in. How is this phone still signed in? Is this normal? Is something wrong? It should be signed out. Maybe it could be listed as an old device … but not "Signed In". I no longer have possession of this phone. I am very concerned for what this means. Worried I did something wrong here.

As described in this Apple support document, you should have signed out before deleting the device. The article provides also alternative methods (in case one has no control of the device).
