Keep these things in mind before selling your old iPhone
When you sell an iPhone, make sure you log out of all accounts on the iPhone. This means that you have logged out of accounts like iCould and Apple ID. Also logout from the accounts of third party apps like Google, Meta, Microsoft. By doing this, anyone using your phone will not be able to access any of your personal accounts, as well as data saved in your cloud. Also, backup the data saved in your phone and delete it from the phone. You can delete all the data on iPhone at once.
It is also important to be careful
– Unlock your phone's carrier if necessary. If your phone is locked to a specific carrier, SIM cards from that carrier will work. So unlock your carrier before selling your phone to someone else.
– Turn off the Find My iPhone feature. Once you remove the Apple ID, it does not turn off the Find My service. You will have to manually turn off the Find My Device feature by going to the phone's settings. So that the phone cannot be tracked after it is sold.
– Before selling the phone, do not forget to remove the SIM card from it.
– Before selling the phone, clean and polish it, so that the buyer likes it.
