Do you want to get rid of your iPhone and make sure that all your data is really deleted? Here in this article we will show you 3 ways to manage iPhone factory reset. Resetting your iPhone to factory defaults deletes all data and settings from your iPhone.
Before you start, we must warn you that once your iPhone is reset to factory settings, you will probably lost all your content and settings. So it is highly recommended that you back up your iPhone first.
