Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today it's how to factory
reset an iPhone now if you're going to be giving your iPhone to someone else
or selling it then you definitely need to factory reset it, before you factory reset
your iPhone you may want to transfer all of your data and photos to your new iPhone
using the iCloud there's a link above now about how to do that, but first a lovely cup of tea!
Oh, if you've bought a new iPhone you will need to move your Sim card from your old iPhone
to your new iPhone now I've already done it on this particular iPhone this is a fairly simple
procedure and there's a link above now about how to remove the Sim card on your iPhone,
now when we sell the iPhone you don't want all the data that's still on there loads and loads
of emails EBAY, Apps, lots of photos you want to make sure it's completely clear as if it's just
come out of the factory and just been built right let's go to the Home screen press the Home button
first of all select Settings scroll down and select General
scroll down
and select Reset
this will then give you further options now we've got 'Reset all settings' or 'Erase all content
and settings' and to factory reset the iPhone we want to select 'Erase all content and settings'
now this is really really important if you're transferring all your data to a new iPhone your
iCloud must be up to date with all your latest photos now this has given you the option to back
up before you erase, this backs up everything to your iCloud so that when you transfer it
to your new iPhone you won't lose anything now if you don't use the iCloud you need to
backup all your photos to a local computer and there's a link above now about how to do that,
I've already backed up everything on this iPhone to the iCloud so I'm going to select Erase now,
don't need to back up again it will then ask you for your passcode so put your passcode in
it will then give you a message 'this will delete all media and data and reset all settings'
you then want to confirm that by clicking on Erase iPhone and then it's asking you one more time are
you sure you want to continue because everything on this iPhone will be deleted and I definitely
do so click on Erase iPhone it will then ask you to put in your Apple ID password just to confirm
so put that in in the top right hand corner click on Erase.
and then it will start deleting all the data on your iPhone now this doesn't take up too
much power but you might want to just plug in and charge your iPhone while it's doing this,
I'm going to speed this footage up
whilst it's resetting the iPhone there's a link
above now about how to transfer voice memos from your iPhone to a computer
so this is now as if you've bought a brand new iPhone it's asking you
to put in all your new settings
and that is now ready to sell on so I'm just going to hold down the power button here
power it off just going to give it a charge so it's 100%
put it back in the box and then get it ready to sell.
