Can I wipe my iPhone without getting on it.

So my screen is broken and I can’t put my pin in but I need to wipe the iPhone 7 as I’ve just had an XR. And I’m planning on selling the 7. I don’t have access to a computer either. So is it possible to wipe the phone in any other way?? Or am I just been unrealistic

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 14

Sebastian ~ It's important to add what Apple says: "If you need to replace your iPhone display, it's important for certified technicians who use genuine Apple display parts to repair it. Only technicians who have completed Apple service training and who use Apple genuine parts and tools should replace iPhone displays." Source:

Hi! Since you are planning to sell a broken iPhone 7 Plus and you can't do it and get much out of it in that condition; you can try replacing the screen through a local repair shop for much cheaper price. Else you can still approach the nearest Apple service centre and get a replacement of screen done. Other than that any other options available seems to atleast require a computer. Sorry but hope this helped!
