Do This Before You Sell your iPhone

📱 7 Essential Steps Before Selling Your iPhone

Secure Your Data & Boost Your iPhone’s Value

1️⃣ Back Up Your Data

• iCloud Backup:
  Navigate to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup > Back Up Now
• Computer Backup (Encrypted):
  Connect to iTunes or Finder and select “Encrypt Backup” to save passwords and sensitive data

2️⃣ Sign Out of iCloud & Apple ID

• Go to Settings > [Your Name] > Sign Out
• Enter your Apple ID password and tap “Turn Off” to disable Find My iPhone

3️⃣ Factory Reset Your iPhone

• Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings
• Pro Tip: Ensure your iPhone is charged above 50% before resetting

4️⃣ Remove SIM & Accessories

• Eject the SIM tray and keep or securely dispose of the SIM card
• Unpair your Apple Watch via Watch app > All Watches > Unpair

5️⃣ Clean Your iPhone

• Gently wipe with a microfiber cloth—avoid using liquids
• Remove any case and clear debris from ports

6️⃣ Check Activation Lock

• Confirm at apple.com/activationlock
• If “Find My iPhone” remains active, the device cannot be reused by the new owner

7️⃣ Gather Extras to Increase Resale Value

• Include original box and charger for an extra $20–$50
• Provide the purchase receipt to verify ownership

⚠️ Important Warning:

Skipping Step #2 means the new owner won’t be able to use the phone, and your personal data may be at risk of leaking!
