Wiping data from an old iPhone before buying a new phone is crucial to personal security.
Question: I'm going to sell my old iPhone in anticipation of buying a new one. How can I wipe my data from it for good?
Answer: Wiping your data from a smartphone is important for security, and it couldn't be easier. To wipe an iOS gadget, go to Settings>>General>>Reset. Tap Erase All Content and Settings and then push the ominous red Erase button. If you have a newer iOS gadget, this process should take only a few minutes to complete. If you have an earlier model, it might take an hour or more. Make sure the gadget is plugged in or has a full battery before you begin. Otherwise, you might have to start all over.
