I am wondering if anyone here has ever lost their backed up iPhone. I am wondering, when you received your new phone, were your Bitcoin wallets automatically restored after recovering your cloud account ??

What do you mean with this? If you are using iPhone, all your apps including your data, configs, everything goes to iCloud and you can recover those setings when you buy a new iPhone or just login with your account to a new device, it is not difficult, i dont know if i understood it well because your thread is a little bit confusing after all.
But i dont understand why are you using your wallet on your smartphone, it is too risky, i have never used it in there because i have always been afraid of losing mine.

If your phone has been wiped without taking a backup of a wallet beforehand then it's lost forever and theres no way of getting it back unless it was automatically uploaded by the cloud.

It depends on your wallet.  If you have a blockchain wallet I can give you some tricks that will help you to restore.  Also if you have screen shots in your cloud if the recovery phrase that always helps if you saved photos in your cloud.

I'm assuming from what you say that somehow you're using your iphone wallet as your main bitcoin wallet ?
That's totally wrong on many levels.
Not just if you had to reset your phone, but what if the phone gets lost or stolen Huh Not a good idea.

Here is what you should do:
-Download a good pc wallet such as electrum.
-Save your private keys or even print them out and keep them in a safe place.
-Now since you want to use your iphone wallet, one of the best apps out there is the blockchain.info app.
-So import the private keys of the address you created on electrum to your blockchain wallet.
-Link it to your phone

Now your phone has no danger on your coins. Whatever happens to it, you still have your private keys and can spend them any time.

In last few months Apple has accepted bitcoin wallet and apps from app store.  There are several apps on Applestore. CoinPocketApp is both a browser based wallet as well as a phone app. CoinPocketApp's code is open source so the community can audit it and make sure that it is safe.Step 1: Generating Your Bitcoin Address.  Step 2: Backing up your Private Key.  Importing a Private Key or Paper WalletOn the Receive Bitcoin page there is a button to Import a Paper Wallet. This feature will allow you to scan an unencrypted private key, and have Pheeva send all the funds located at that address to your Pheeva address. Unlike many other wallets, Pheeva doesn't allow you to import password protected encrypted private keys. I think by this you can secure your bitcoins on iPhone.

NO, that's impossible.
Your iPhone is lost, if you replace it, the new one. Your bitcoin account cannot be recovered. The wallet is stored in a previous cell phone. It's centralized. You can only open your wallet with your own key. So be sure to back up a few copies of your wallet

go to iCloud, if you iPhone has connected to it before, i am sure some or all of your files have backing up there.
But if you do not have access on it.
Maybe you can try connect iPhone to Computer and try running some apps which to restore files.
