How to Properly Reset iPhone to factory default

[@zollotech]

Is there any other How to videos you would like to see? In this video I show you how to reset and erase any iPhone running iOS 12, iOS 13, and probably iOS 14. I walk you through what you should do step-by-step. Thanks for watching!

[@AMITOMPY]

How to DFU an iphone without any risk ?

[@colak111]

I’d like to see ,how u use your iPad trough out the day.

[@zollotech]

@Ithath While it is not normally something you would need to do, I do have a few videos on that already.

[@appleztooranges]

Yes how to go to an unassigned iOS version such as iOS 13.1 from iOS 13.5?

[@MrEpicVid]

Is it the same with just reseting from the main setting “ Erase All contents and settings”

[@danescott5149]

I spent two hours trying what other folks were telling me to do...in less than 10 minutes your video showed an old guy exactly how to do it, ty so much

[@BigDaddy_MRI]

This is a great video. As I’m getting ready to retire my venerable 6S Plus, and give it to my youngest granddaughter, I was wondering how to get it ready for the hand-over, this video appeared!! I’ve purchased a new SE 2020 with 256GB, and I’m looking forward to that, I know my old 6S Plus will be useful for a while still. Truthfully, I’ll miss it. Never gave me any real grief, and was a really good phone. But time marches on, and hopefully the new SE will cruise along for at least as long as the 6S+. We will see I guess. Again, thanks for the highly informative video, Aaron. This helps a great deal!!

[@Bunnycraftyboum]

I’ll give an oscar to the person who care abt that

Mom: help me reset my phone Me: Give me a second*watches video* Also Me: alrighty give me the device Mom: you’re gonna go to Harvard for this technology stuff

[@SanzSplitStream]

I’m always learning something new watching these videos!

[@jon_something]

Thank you needed to do this to sell on my old iPhone and although I've done it in the past completely forgot. This video was straight to the point simple to follow and no unnecessary waffling on lol. Thanks dude

[@HandyGuy]

Very helpful. I inherited my wife's old iPhoneXR and knew how to use Quick Start. This got her phone completely cleared and ready to go so I could transfer my settings from my old phone. Merci!

[@ravi_sethi]

3:08 what is this step I want to reset my iPhone then login with same id

[@PapaEsch]

Thanks Aaron, today I bought an iPhone 13 pro max, while I was transferring data from old iPhone 11 I think I glitched it by setting up face ID and wallet credit card CCV numbers. It only transferred my Apps over and not my contacts, calendar, notes etc. Anyways, I reset the new iPhone 13 to factory reset by following your excellent instructions, I then tried the transfer of data from old 11 to new 13 AND IT WORKED!! THANKS Aaron, I appreciate you my man!

[@Jasonaleyva]

Wow Aaron . I’ve never left a comment on a tutorial but wow thank you! You made this the easiest and straight to the point

[@Sam-ow5dp]

Thank you so much I had signed into my iCloud and all of my stuff wasn’t saved and you know now you can’t do the transfer so I did the steps in this video and it worked thank you again!!

[@Pinklipglossed]

Thank you for the quick and concise tutorial on how to reset my old iPhone without losing my current data.

[@Twinniekin]

I really appreciate your videos Zollotech. I have just bought a new iphone and needed to transfer my data from old to new iphone which was so easy having watched your video on that subject and now have just brought my old iphone back to factory settings when watching your video on this subject as well. You guide the viewer so well through these important steps and your voice is very calming and audible. I am in my 70's and live in the boondocks in Scotland and have to say your tech videos are the best out there. Keep up the good work Zollotech!!

[@jvinot60]

Great idea for a video as I’m sure there is a number of folks who did not know or understand this process. Thanks!

[@toxicfuze4265]

Great explanation! easy to follow the steps. And a clear and good view of the phone! Keep up the great work. +1 sub

[@shiftingflames1014]

this isnt a rate are review

[@kelsta]

Thank you so much for this walkthrough! I'm currently on a time crunch to have my old phone ready for trade-in and your video was clear, concise and so easy to follow. I tried following Apple's how-to guides on this topic, as well as a third party's guide, however I was stuck with my phone locked to owner after several attempts with these instructions. Your video is exactly what I needed!

[@mikenye6904]

Thanks Aaron. I screwed up up first attempt to upload my new phone and needed to start over. Now I can.

[@MattPlayz1]

Thanks for this tutorial! I needed to reset my iphone 11 regular back to factory settings, so my uncle can buy it from me for $100! I had a lot of good memories on that iPhone that I wanted to keep but hey, $100 is worth giving it away man.

[@zahste1442]

no way u let ur uncle buy your iphone 11 for $100. ur Uncle saved $1000 what a steal 💀

[@amuslimkid6128]

Got straight to the point and explained everything understandably. Thank you!

[@gwestbrook9262]

Hi, you did a beautiful job showing people how to erase everything on the iphone to start over. I really appreciate you teaching me how to start over. I do not know if you are religious or not but God is good all the time. Thank you for taking the time to teach people how to erase and start over what came in the handle for people. Take care and stay safe.

[@teeedasilva6227]

All this reset vids with like 5 mill plus but yours is just hitting a 2mil and has the best information

[@blackswanchim]

Thank you for this tutorial. I’ve been thinking about reseting my iPhone because the System Data’s just too big 😫

[@Rockarmy-1]

What if I just did the erase & reset part? Will my info still be linked?

[@federicopivetta7387]

Thanks Aaron. Your videos are fantastic and your explanations are incredibly thorough. Just bought a new iPhone to replace my trusty iPhone 6 and this will help a lot since I will be trading it.

[@st6ckin]

I have 2 phones linked to the same iCloud what will happen if I erase one will both of them be earased

[@flare1956]

I have a question, can you sign back in and all your data will still be put back into the phone? 🤔

[@b.amitav]

this video is always extremely helpful whenever i get a new phone and want to erase the content of my old phone before trade-in. Have you thought of making an update version of this process with iOS 17.x

[@reflectionsandmoments6122]

First youtube video that is clear and concise

[@nealhauser2258]

Thank you. Just upgraded to iPhone 12 - and am giving my iPhone 8 to my daughter who had a Samsung 5, she is excited and will never go back to Android :)

[@dushanpavithra4217]

If you haven't put your fingerprint before, can you put the Apple ID when you create it?

[@mikec7860]

The Apple video doesn’t say to shut off your iCloud account. Is this necessary if you are truly erasing everything from your phone?

[@KevinCarroll-f2s]

very clear and instructive video. So good. (great "announcing" voice for voice-overs!)

[@simply2187]

Thank you, my man. I got my new iPhone today. This helped me a lot. Thanks from China.

[@Nelsonr1978]

Man, you’re like a needle in a haystack... thank god I found you. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@billdowtre7833]

My gf 8plus was acting up and thanks to this video its back functioning good again

[@clausluth5119]

I love your videos on ‘how to...’ Keep on doing that, thank you 👍🏻😊

[@vaehh736]

What if I don’t know my iCloud password

[@stevenwilson5556]

Helpful. Got it reset, this was very useful video thanks!! Now a nice sweet little girl will have my old iPhone and she will be very happy! Her first ever iPhone!!

[@beatriceneufeldt2024]

Fantastic explanation ! Easy to follow steps. Thank you

[@littlebeebs1]

Can’t thank you enough! They don’t send any instructions with replacement phones . And I don’t want to get charged money because I forgot a step. This is the only video that truly explains how to get the phone cleared to mail in . You’re the bomb ! You got right to the point , but you’re so informative at the same time .

[@mohamedyousef4351]

After the erase if I signed in again with the same iCloud will the phone download all my data again or not ? I wanted to do this after updating iOS but I am afraid to lose my data

[@pattil.diflorio2649]

Thank you. Question … if my new phone is already set up with iCloud do I need to bother with the iCloud backup on my old phone?

[@yeee3793]

Thanks so much you deserve this like and follow now I can finally sell my iPhone 11 Pro max

[@goredknight3017]

Thanks for making this frightening thing to do if you have other Apple devices

[@samminmusic6571]

Thank you! Giving my 8 plus to my sister as I just upgraded to the 13 and the 8 plus was my first iPhone!

[@Subie_Gang190]

KZbin: 1 comment. Me: can i see them. KZbin: NO!!!!

[@Blox_Fruits273]

Will it also have the new iOS software update??

[@itamarkacalon8012]

You are the best ✌🏼

[@snahps]

If i've backed everything up to another phone already cant i just sign out and reset now? or do i need to do another back up into cloud?

[@MaxKito2]

Aaron this is awesome thank you. This is so useful, since I’d need it, if I continue contemplating selling my iPhone 11 just to upgrade to the standard 128GB iPhone 12 if indeed that’s happening.😁

[@NoOne-rg7tt]

My IPhone 7plus just departed from me… fly high little one. You were useful to me for 5 years. I will always have fond memories of us 🖤😭

[@ashtheultima6625]

Thanks, That really helped, No matter what did before I just couldn't figure it out, but now I got it... Now this iPhone is actually mine, no longer some iphone my mom used to have, but didn't want...

[@robertaotwell5668]

You are a life saver! Thank you so much for your video. I wanted to sell my phone but didn't know how to properly go thru and erase the information. A++++++

[@haleyelizabethh]

coming back later to update if it works. i wont bluff if not, i appreciate you helping if it does work thanks.

[@MegaChrisie]

thank you so much, I was doing a trade in and didn't have a clue how to reset it all.

[@santanava8616]

Thanks for explaining the steps perfectly!!!! Easy peasy !!😊

[@mikes7070]

Really good info. A lot of people have no idea how to do this simple thing. I remember the first time I did it I actually called Apple Care. Thanks for posting this.

[@anianii]

For me the last step was always enough, it automatically turned off Find my and removed it from my account

[@zollotech]

Probably true, but I like to do it that way to I sure it is fully disassociated from my account.

[@YousofAzizi]

I was wondering why you did not click on Reset All icon. Thanks!

[@odorumevictory2030]

The video is so detailed and it's really helpful,thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@oliverhojas]

Thank you for the great vidoe. I just have one issue - the signing out button is grey - so I can't click on it.

[@davidharbison2140]

Thank you for making it so simple to follow.

[@endadalton]

Is it ok just to go to erase all contents and reset if you already have a new phone and are setup and fully working.

[@neilaquino8891]

@zollotech appreciate your reply here. Thank you

[@KevinCarroll-f2s]

As I didn't initially set up my iPhone by myself (I had help!) will it simply be a case of following instructions this time!? I'm a bit apprehensive about setting up online, etc etc Thanks!

[@advancelast1740]

Really useful information and clearly delivered. Thank you

[@Nails_bysharon._]

Thankyou so much! This really helped me, it was straight to the point, very easy Instructions and steps!

[@afreire4485]

IM LITERALLY ABOUT TO CRY, I DONT HAVE A MAC BUT I HAVE AN IPHONE AND I RESETED MY PHONE WITHOUT THE TUTORIAL I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

[@robertogonzalez6483]

if you own an icloud account and, you backed up at some point. you should you have the data that you successfully backed up. how do I access to my data ? just go to google and sign in Icloud using your credentials. at least you have your data in your clould while you get another device.

[@angelkrstv]

Please make a video how to reset a Mac. Soon I’ll be selling my MacBook and I am a bit confused, so I will appreciate step by step video.

[@AdrianKurian]

I was thinking of doing the same for a little while now for my SE. I don’t wanna update to iOS 13. Although I miss some features here and there the 12.1 I’m using is super stable, good battery and no heating and crazy glitches and bugs..

[@pblanco713]

Great tutorial video! Thank you Aaron!

[@mig-bee]

Thank you sir

[@rachaelle27]

[@nallelyfuentes6628]

[@kennethd3821]

Updated to 13.5.1 battery drains overnight for about 20% per hour, tried factory reset hoping it would fix but still it drains. Maybe its a bug, waiting for 13.5.5 to fix this. Using iphone 6s

Having issues with weather app not showing the new animations but all in all enjoying iOS 15 on my iPhone 12

[@scarlettnorthfield5936]

Very easy to understand I am 13 and did this

[@wrestlingfan8159]

will this help reduce my iphone storage also? for instance i have 15 of 16 gb of storage used up. and i wanted to know if doing a factory reset will make it go back down. also will i still keep my same number and carrier which is at&t? i had to delete most of my apps also. thank you.

[@percys839]

Y’all just sign out your account before you do that save the contacts and stuff it gives you an option before you sign out and than make an new iCloud and you can get the apps you want

[@Out_on_a_Limb_Life]

Really helpful video, thank you! I'm just now preparing my iPhone 7 for trade in and about to set up my NEW iPhone MINI, yayyy!! :)

[@marioacosta6337]

Thank you very very much straight to the point and says how to do it step by step in a simple way to understand for everyone

[@appleztooranges]

Hola Zollotech. Hope all is well. Battery still a problem on iOS 13.5 on 11 pro max (98% max health). May try this! Although I see a lot of 11 pro max devices getting worst battery on the iOS 13.5 version.

[@jamesfranco1349]

If u just want to reset it but keep your service Verizon on it I Can reset??? No problem

[@EricsonHerbas]
