Thanks for keeping it simple and to the point! No need for a 20 minute video for a 3 minute job.

[@beautifulrose8619]

Exactly. I started other videos and I got bored with just a 5 minute intro of why I should do it. This one is great.

[@CarrsMill]

good job, good pace, clear and to the point.

It is no longer necessary to turn off Find My iPhone when doing this process. If Find My is turned on, it'll ask for your Apple ID and Password when you select Erase All Content and Settings to disengage it.

[@keithsexton1554]

Great video, the new version was not working on my old 7. I had to do the 2 step process to get the phone wiped.

[@joel_r285]

Hey what if I didn’t press sign out, I just went to erase all content and settings.

[@omarcorrea]

@@joel_r285 if you have any other apple devices that are logged into the same iCloud account, you can remove the erased device from iCloud settings on that other apple device.

[@joel_r285]

@@omarcorrea it says it will reappear if signed in and reconnects to the internet if I click remove from account. Is that what I do? See I’m tryna sell my iPhone 11 Pro to my friend and I wanna make sure it’s set for them

[@Ferrariteng]

If I forgot to sign out apple id before I erase all content and settings for my iphone 13 pro max? Is there a chance that the buyer of my old phone can able to access my apple id?

[@Edg5mx]

very well explained, you speak calmly, and precisely.

Thanks for the simple instructions. Even though I'm doing this with ios 15 so some steps were slightly different, your instructions were much clearer than Verizon's.

what about deleting the device from your iCloud (find-my) account?

[@asondareyes5482]

Can the SIM card be purchase for the new owner if I throw the old one away?

Their carrier should be able to give them a new sim card if they need one

I’m already on my new iPhone and no longer use my old phone . Going to sell it. so do I still need to back it up if everything is on my new phone already ? Would it delete if I just reset my old phone ? lol

[@kingshiba6077]

Hi Omar, i updated my software to 14.6 from 13. Loved the display of the 14.6 but that was erased after I plugged my phone into iTunes and hit the restore button. How do I format my phone to default 14.6 display with all its apps? I don't want my previous apps to show only the 14.6 display default apps without backup

If I impair my Apple Watch from my old phone will it unpair from my new one?

[@cazmilligan8]

I forgot to sign out of iCloud but I did restart the phone, I gave it away.. do they have access to things ??

[@omarcorrea]

no you should be fine. If you want to make sure its disconnected, you can go to System Preferences or Settings on your new iPhone, and go to the Apple ID section and there should be a list of devices connected to your Apple ID and you can disconnect it from there.

Quick question - if you’re going to erase all content and settings, wouldn’t it be unnecessary to unpair your watch, sign out, etc?

[@omarcorrea]

Not according to Apple

[@lily4729]

I’ve done this but when I sign out it gets stuck on the removing icloud data stage for ages, is there anything which stops this from happening?

If I have a new phone with my iCloud and everything, and I completely delete my older phone, will I lose my pictures, etc. in the new phone? I hope my question makes sense.

No, you're not deleting the content from iCloud, you're just disconnecting your phone from it.

If you’re erasing all settings from the reset button, why did you still have to sign out of your Apple Watch in iCloud?

Just an extra precaution. This is directly from Apple

If I factory reset/erase everything off my phone at home because I’m paranoid THEN go to the phone store and buy a new one can they still transfer all my stuff to the new one?

[@omarcorrea]

as long as you do an iCloud backup before you reset it. If you backed it up, you can buy your new phone, type in your iCloud login info and after a few moments it'll be just like your old phone.

[@user-jq2ud5yf6s]

Cant you check if everything is deleted after you’ve reset your ohone.

[@dee_mx]

If I am going to sell my old iPhone and have a new one, should I keep the SIM card with it? Will it be wiped clean for the next person?

[@omarcorrea]

Yeah I would keep the sim and put it in your new phone. Although sometimes depending on your carrier, the new phone will come with a new sim that will replace the old one

[@preetkahlon9103]

Thanks

[@sananto6896]

Got it. Thanks.

[@ShacalGD]

Thanks, very helpful.

[@riccardorinaldo7934]

You also need to remove it from “find my iPhone” before you sign out of iCloud. We made that mistake when selling one (forgot to remove) and they had to send it back. Critical step.

[@omarcorrea]

No longer necessary. If Find My is turned on, it'll ask for your Apple ID and Password when you select Erase All Content and Settings to disengage it.
