An iPhone is a smartphone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. These devices use Apple’s iOS mobile operating system. The first generation of iPhones was announced in January 2007 by Steve Jobs.
To wipe out an iPhone means, to erase all the content and settings. This process completely erases any photos, contacts, music, or downloaded apps and turns off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
Some circumstances that demand wiping out an iPhone include but are not limited to freezing, giving it out to someone, or selling it.
iPhone freezes when the screen is unresponsive. This happens when the iPhone runs on low storage space or lacks adequate memory space.
Like a laptop or computer, an iPhone needs the most up-to-date software installed to operate properly. If you have not updated your iOS recently, it could be causing your iPhone to freeze. A corrupt app could also cause an iPhone to experience freezing.
Giving out your iPhone also requires that you wipe out your personal information or documents so that the next user doesn’t get access to it.
