Today I’m gonna show you guys how to hard reset iPhone, for all iPhone series.
Because It's easy to confuse the concept of hard reset with factory reset.
So I also will tell your guys the difference between hard reset and factory reset.
No further words, let’s go.
What is hard reset iPhone, hard reset in another word is force restart.
It can take your iPhone back to its normal state when there is a bug happen.
Usually corresponds with bugs like iPhone screen frozen, iPhone Apple logo, iPhone stuck
on recovery mode and so on.
Any bugs make you unable to use your iPhone you can try hard reset iPhone.
What is factory reset iPhone, factory reset iPhone is reset your iPhone to factory default,
which means all your iPhone data will disappear.
Ok, that’s the difference between these two things, now let me show you how to do
it.
First, hard reset iPhone.

Press and hold both the power button and the home button at the same time.
Wait until the apple logo appears, then you had completed the hard reset.
For iPhone 7 or 7 Plus Models.

logo appears, then you had completed the hard reset.
For iPhone 8 and later Models (with face id)
Press Volume Up and quickly press Volume Down then press and hold the power button.
Wait until the apple logo appears, then you had completed the hard reset.
Ok, this is how to hard reset iPhone, now let me show you how to factory reset iPhone.
First is to factory reset your iPhone in the settings.
Here I will use iPhone 11 as an example.
Go to the setting page, tap general, and scroll down tap the transfer or reset iPhone option.
Here choose erase all content and settings, continue, enter your password and tap erase
iPhone.
Wait for the process over, then you had finished the factory reset iPhone.
If you prefer to use Pc or Mac to factory reset your iPhone, follow the next method.
Second, factory reset iPhone with ReiBoot.
This is an iOS repair tool, it can fix more than 150 iOS issues, also include factory
reset function, check the download link in the description if you are interested.
Once Installed, connect your iPhone to your PC or Mac and open ReiBoot.
Click the reset device option, and choose factory reset option here.
Here will need to download firmware to factory reset your iPhone, just click it.
The download won’t be long, depending on your network condition.
Once download is ok, click start reset option.
ReiBoot will begin to factory reset your iPhone, the process will take a while.
Relax and be patient, it will be done soon.
Then you can see, my iPhone is on the set up screen, I will skip them.
Now my iPhone is good as the new one.
Go try it.
If you prefer to use iTunes or Finder, follow next method.
Third, factory reset iPhone with iTunes or Finder.
Cuz iTunes is the same thing as Finder, here I will use iTunes as an example.
Connect your iPhone to iTunes or Finder, then you need to put your iPhone in recovery mode.
Put iPhone in recovery mode is using the same move as the hard reset iPhone.
But hold a little longer, keep holding till the recovery mode shows up, you can go back
to first method to check out.
Now you will see iTunes pop up a window, choose restore here.
Then iTunes will begin to download the firmware, once the firmware is ok, it will begin to
factory reset your iPhone.
Because these two process takes me a long time, I will skip them, you can try it yourself.
