Go into settings and click wipe device/erase device/whatever it says. That's all you have to do.

I'm about to sell my iPhone 6S as I'm getting a Samsung S8 in a few days, and it's a growing concern of mine to completely wipe my Apple iCloud data from existence.

What crucial steps should I take to ensure my iPhone is securely wiped before it gets a new owner?

 

Note: This iPhone 6S is/was my only Apple product so the grand objective here is to completely leave the Apple ecosystem.

Given the opportunity and financial status, I would totally try this method!
