Hi,
I'm sorry if this is an old topic. I did a search in this forum & didn't get a direct answer. So I have an old iP4 & iP5 that I want to sell or maybe give away for Christmas. I did some research on what I need to do before I sell/give away the phones. I saw something about deactivating the phone from iCloud, iMessage & or as an active iTunes account on your PC. These phones have not been used in at least 2-3 years. I have no idea what or if they were ever in iCloud or anything else. If I do a factory reset of the devices shouldn't that just wipe out all personal data & settings so its like it was out of the box? Then whoever I give them to can just pop a compatible SIM in it & it will be like new? Am I wrong somewhere in this plan? Any help would be great!
Thanks!
