A GUIDE TO DECIDING
Preparing an iPhone for sale involves describing the device accurately and arranging a safe transition for your information. An initial enquiry does not require immediately wiping everything. Collect the phone's details first, then coordinate assessment, backup and handover as the transaction progresses.
Before handing it over, confirm that your data is recoverable and that you still have access to your accounts and phone service. Perform Apple Account actions yourself.

Record model, storage, reported battery condition, operation and known repairs. Take useful photographs of the front, back, sides and any relevant marks. Describe when an intermittent fault occurs, even if it does not appear while you are taking pictures.
Review the iPhone selling options or request an initial valuation using those details. A proposal and the possibility of accepting the phone depend on assessment; preparing its information does not confirm a purchase.
Check that important files are backed up or transferred and that you can retrieve them. Banking applications, authenticators and other services may have their own steps for changing devices. If you use an eSIM, arrange continuity of service with your network provider.
Avoid deleting synced photos or contacts one item at a time while signed into iCloud: that can also remove them from other devices. Apple's official preparation guide explains transferring information and removing personal data.
Where applicable, unpair your Apple Watch and follow Apple's instructions to sign out and erase the device. Agree on the timing of the phone's checks and the removal of your information. Do not send passwords, verification codes or recovery keys in messages.
