A week ago I learned how hard it is to sell a used iPhone. A factory reset isn’t enough. I got $500 cash from some kid, he contacted me saying he couldn’t log in, and I then spent hours googling “how to sell used iPhone” and communicating via google translate what he was seeing. That was fun. It turned out I needed to wipe the data using iCloud and then remove the device from my account. I wonder how involved selling a used Tesla will become.
- sgerenser 6y agoThe only thing you need to do before selling an iPhone (or iPad) is go into Settings->General->Reset->Erase All Contents and Settings. This will prompt you for your iCloud password and remove the iCloud lock and wipe the device. Source: sold at least a dozen iPhones and iPads since iCloud lock has been a thing.
