    Don’t go more without backing your iPhone

    The first step is to ensure that all the data you want to keep is safely backed up. It can be easily done on the iCloud, though you can also make a manual backup.

    Similarly as you want to back up your iPhone before you update iOS 18, Settings > (Your name) > icloud > I -cloud backup And tap Backup now. It should take a while, but if you need it, you will be restored by this online backup.

    You can also make your phone manually backup by connecting your phone to your computer, though this process is different between PC and Mac. You can still download iTunes on your Windows PC, through which you will sync your iPhone and create a backup through this software. With the end of iTunes on Mac in 2019, you have to go through the Finder to handle your iPhone, but otherwise, the backup process is relatively straightening.

    Note that the iPhones are good to transmit data from one device to another to another, making it easier for you to move from your old device without interruption. After awakening your new iPhone, follow the on -screen instructions on your new iPhone to scan your old device and continue the process. It is still smart when you get rid of your old iPhone.

    Sign out digitally from each account

    This is the most traumatic move but is an essential part of the process, but you must sign with login apps and services. You should prefer apps with more sensitive data, but it is a good idea to make sure that you will be fully logged in anything with personally identified information.

    You won’t want any email, contacts and pops in calendar accounts, so move towards Settings > Apps > Mail/contact/calendar > Accounts Linking them manually.

    It is good to log out of bank and payment apps, external email and messaging apps, workplace software such as slack or authentication apps and even digital community apps such as dysconds. Finally, if you are selling your iPhone or giving it to someone else, make sure to disable finding me before erase your phone. Barley Settings > (Your name) > Look for me.

    If you’re going to a new iPhone, move your cell service

    If you are about to reset an old iPhone that was your daily driver connected to your career account, you would like to transfer the service to your new iPhone before the factory wipe out your device. Why? Because you will probably use your old iPhone to call your career to change this service. Don’t get stuck without a phone as I did.

    You were able to keep it on a new phone to remove your SIM card from your old phone and advance the service. Not as much these days as the iPhone 14 and later the model sold in the United States do not come with the physical SIM card – that is Esim All the way you will need to call your career to move your data plan to your new iPhone, but this is a very easy process. If the worst is the worst (as if you have already erased your old iPhone), you can bring your new iPhone to any retail store in your career and they can transfer a digital service to it.

    If you are just cleaning the old iPhone or using it after resetting it, proceed to the next step.

    Finally, the factory is the way to reset your iPhone here

    If you have done the aforementioned job and are ready to reset your phone, open Settings App then tap General > Transfer or reset iPhone > Erase all content and settings And confirm. You will be asked to enter your iPhone PIN code, then enter your Apple ID password (linking the device with your account and and if you don’t already have my ability).

    Once you do this, the screen will turn black and you will get a black progress bar at the bottom (as well as if you are updating the new version of iOS). Within a few minutes, the word “Hello” will appear on the screen in different languages, just as he first activated his phone. Congratulations, it has been successfully reset.
