No matter how well you take care of your iPhone, there will come a time when you’ll need to reset it to factory settings. That might be because your device has become noticeably slower over time, you’ve recently started experiencing bugs and software issues, or you’re about to sell or give away your iPhone to someone else. Regardless of your reason, performing a factory reset is a simple process, but there are a few things you should take care of before you do it.
How to ERASE your iPhone before selling it – Factory Reset / Restore your iPhone
In this post, we'll explain everything you need to do to prepare your iPhone for a factory reset.
