Erase ...Most of these things aren't necessary. Erase All Contents and Settings takes care of:<br /><i><br />log out of FaceTime (remove credentials)<br />deregister iMessage: iMessage turn off, FaceTime logout and turn off<br />remove iTunes Store AppleID account information (which can differ from iCloud AppleID)<br />from Settings:Mail,Contacts, Calendars:iCloud:Advanced:Share My Location: From: (Your device) remove unwanted devices<br />log out of iCloud/Find Phone<br />log out of FindFriends<br />wipe phone<br />power off<br /></i><br /><br />These are the only items that take place off-device. Although these items aren't critical and you can do them at any time:<br /><i><br />iCloud:Storage:Manage Storage: delete old backup, turn off backups (Obviously, only do this after new phone is working! I use iTunes for backup restore)<br />Manage your associated devices in iTunes<br /></i><br /><br /><br />I don't see this as necessary since there's nothing bad that happens if the Apple's support system thinks a device is associated to someone who has sold it:<br /><i><br />Remove device from Apple support/Apple ID device profile? (this is an ugly business)<br /></i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
