How can I erase an iPhone that I cannot open and get to the settings since it is damaged? I have a replacement phone already set up but I need to mail the damaged one back. I've taken the SIM card out but I have no way of getting to the settings on the phone to erase it.
iPhone 11, iOS 14
Hello bondse,
Depending upon the extent of the damage it may be possible to send a command through iCloud.
