For example, imagine the next iPhone just came out (at the time of writing, that's the iPhone 15), and while you’re wasteful with your money, you’re conscientious enough to want to give your existing iPhone to a family member, perhaps sell your phone for some extra cash or just give it to charity.

You will be faced with two options: reset or erase all content and settings. Open the Settings app and navigate to General > Transfer or Reset iPhone.
