<\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWondering ‘what do I need to do before I sell my iPhone<\/a>?\u2019, you\u2019ll need to reset it back to factory settings and make sure all of your personal data is backed up.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Resetting your iPhone before sending it to the next user ensures nobody has access to your private information. This includes contacts, bank information, photos, app purchases, email addresses, and passwords.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Before resetting your iPhone, back up any information you want to transfer to your new device. You can do this by connecting your iPhone to a MacBook or by using iCloud.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Once you\u2019ve backed up your device, you\u2019ll need to remove your iCloud account<\/a> from the iPhone and unpair any devices such as an iPad or Apple Watch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n It\u2019s a pretty simple process to reset an iPhone, but you will be asked to complete a few tasks. When you reset your iPhone, you\u2019ll be asked to enter your PIN-code and then your Apple ID password – this is to turn off Apple\u2019s Find My Service.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Plus, make sure your iPhone is fully charged as resetting your device can drain the battery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The screen will go dark and the Apple logo will appear with a progress bar. You should then be greeted with a screen saying ‘hello\u2019 – this indicates the reset has completed.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Once you\u2019ve reset your iPhone, you\u2019ll be able to send your device to the buyer without worrying if any of your personal information can be accessed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n If you\u2019re wondering ‘does resetting iPhone delete everything?\u2019, the answer is yes, but before starting a factory reset, make sure you backup your data. You\u2019ll need to back up iCloud, and sign out of your Apple ID before wiping all of the private information stored on your iPhone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Just follow these easy steps to factory reset your iPhone:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n We highly encourage backing up your iPhone before carrying out a factory reset. You\u2019ll need to back up your data to iCloud, remove your iCloud account and delete your Apple ID.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Follow these super easy steps to back up your iPhone to iCloud:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Follow these steps to sign out of your Apple ID:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Thinking ‘how can I reset my iPhone without the passcode?\u2019 Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve got a solution! You can reset your iPhone through iCloud, iTunes, or Settings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you don\u2019t have a computer and want to reset your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase Content and Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You can also reset your iPhone through iTunes! Connect your device to a computer and open iTunes. In the Summary Tab choose Restore iPhone and then Restore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n To reset your iPhone using iCloud, you can only carry out this process if you know your Apple ID password and Find My iPhone is already enabled. Go to iCloud.com and choose Find My iPhone > All Devices > Erase iPhone<\/strong>. Your iPhone passcode and data should have been wiped.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n Backing up your iPhone means you can easily transfer your personal information to your new device rather than starting from scratch and it stops the next user from accessing it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n However, if you\u2019ve forgotten to or didn\u2019t realise you needed to back up your device, then it\u2019s difficult to recover your data as a factory reset completely wipes the iPhone.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You can try and download data recovery tools onto your MacBook or computer and see if that works to recover data from iTunes, iCloud and retrieve call history, messages, photos, etc. Just search ‘data recovery tools for iPhone\u2019 and find which one suits you.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You\u2019re also best to check your iCloud or iTunes in case any of your data has automatically synced.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n musicMagpie is the best place to trade in your iPhone (we even buy broken iPhone<\/a> devices), sell mobile phone<\/a> and if you want to upgrade for less.
