If you are planning to sell, trade, or give
away your iPhone, you may want to erase all your data and settings from the
device. This will protect your privacy and security, as well as free up some
storage space. Erasing your iPhone will also remove it from your iCloud account
and turn off features like Find My iPhone and Activation Lock.
However, erasing your iPhone is not as
simple as tapping a button. There are some steps you need to take before,
during, and after the process to ensure a smooth and safe transition. In this
guide, we will show you how to erase your iPhone in 2025 and beyond, using the
latest methods and tools available.
Before You Erase Your iPhone
Before you erase your iPhone, you should do
the following things:
Back up your iPhone. This will allow you to
restore your data and settings on a new device or the same device if you change
your mind. You can back up your iPhone using iCloud, iTunes, or a third-party
app. For more details, see the Apple Support article How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Sign out of iCloud, iTunes, and the App
Store. This will prevent any issues with your Apple ID and services after you
erase your iPhone. To sign out, go to Settings > [your name] > Sign Out.
Enter your Apple ID password and tap Turn Off. For more details, see the Apple
Support article What to do before you sell, give away, or trade-in your iPhone,
iPad, or iPod touch.
Unpair your Apple Watch. If you have an
Apple Watch paired with your iPhone, you need to unpair it before you erase your
iPhone. This will also erase your Apple Watch and remove it from your iCloud
account. To unpair, open the Watch app on your iPhone, tap the My Watch tab,
tap the info button next to your watch, and tap Unpair Apple Watch. For more
details, see the Apple Support article Unpair and erase your Apple Watch.
Remove your SIM card. If you have a SIM
card in your iPhone, you may want to remove it before you erase your iPhone.
This will prevent any issues with your carrier or phone number. To remove your
SIM card, use a paper clip or a SIM eject tool to open the SIM tray on the side
of your iPhone, and take out the SIM card. For more details, see the Apple
Support article Remove
or switch the SIM card in your iPhone or iPad.
How to Erase Your iPhone
There are two ways to erase your iPhone:
using Settings on your iPhone or using a computer with a USB cable and iTunes
or Finder. The Settings method is the easiest, but you need to have access to
your iPhone and a Wi-Fi or cellular connection. The computer method is useful
if you can’t access your iPhone, or if you want to update or restore your
iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Using Settings on Your iPhone
To erase your iPhone using Settings, follow
these steps:
Go to Settings > General > Transfer
or Reset iPhone.
Do one of the following:
Prepare your content and settings to
transfer to a new iPhone: Tap Get Started, then follow the onscreen
instructions. When you finish, return to Settings > General > Transfer or
Reset iPhone, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
Erase all of your data from iPhone: Tap
Erase All Content and Settings.
If asked, enter your passcode or Apple ID
password.
Confirm that you want to erase your iPhone.
If you have an eSIM, you can choose to erase your eSIM or keep it. If you erase
your eSIM, you need to contact your carrier to reactivate your cellular plan.
Wait for your iPhone to erase. It may take
a few minutes to completely erase your data.
Using a Computer with a USB Cable and
iTunes or Finder
To erase your iPhone using a computer,
follow these steps:
On a Mac (macOS 10.15 or later): Click the
Finder icon in the Dock to open a Finder window, click the iPhone button in the
Finder sidebar (below Locations), click General at the top of the window, then
click Restore iPhone.
On a Mac (macOS 10.14 or earlier) or a
Windows PC: Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (see the Apple
Support article Update to the latest version of iTunes). Open iTunes, click
the iPhone button near the top left of the iTunes window, click Summary, then
click Restore iPhone.
If asked, enter your passcode or Apple ID
password.
Confirm that you want to erase your iPhone.
This will also update or restore your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Wait for your iPhone to erase. It may take
a few minutes to completely erase your data.
After You Erase Your iPhone
After you erase your iPhone, you can do the
following things:
Set up your iPhone as new or restore it
from a backup. If you want to use your iPhone again, you can follow the
onscreen instructions to set it up as a new device or restore it from a backup.
For more details, see the Apple Support article Set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Sell, trade, or give away your iPhone. If
you want to sell, trade, or give away your iPhone, you can do so without
worrying about your data and settings. Make sure you have the original box,
accessories, and receipt if possible. For more tips, see the Apple Support
article What
to do before you sell, give away, or trade-in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
