The apple id pulls everything purchased, etc together, no matter where those purchases happened.

Say you purchase a song on an iPhone under your existing ID, that purchase will be available to ALL devices using that ID.

As things migrate to cloud storage, this is a boon. Imagine having to download everything to each device individually.

iTunes will ask if you want to transfer the items on your phone to iTunes.
