Few months back, My iphone dropped and it's internally damaged including motherboard. So i have decided to sell that iphone which is obviously not working at all. My question is.
I haven't backed up my data and i don't want that either. So changing motherboard will erase it all ? Or left remaining data that is not backed up ?
Any data that was on your iPhone originally would be on the original "motherboard." Replacing it with another (regardless of which non-Apple motherboard you would get) would not bring your data back. The only other location for your data would have been on backups you were doing all along to either iCloud or iTunes/Finder. You have been making backups ... right?
Not sure how you think you'll be changing the motherboard on any iPhone? Apple doesn't sell parts. Apple actually doesn't replace motherboards on iPhone at all. If a motherboard has crashed, the entire phone is replaced.
Selling a damaged phone to anyone wouldn't be a very nice thing do to. The phone is more ready for the recycle bin at either an Apple Store or electronics store which accepts recycling.

If I understand you correctly, you'd sell the phone and not tell some poor unsuspecting person they are buying a "Franken Monster" iPhone. One which has been opened by someone other than Apple and has a part installed from another phone, which may or may not work well. And a phone, which Apple will ultimately be able to determine was altered from original,
rendering the phone ineligible for after sale support.
Did I get that right?
No you didn't get it right. we'll not repair it but we will sell it to someone at half of the half price of the mrp around 20,000 INR and we will tell him that this is damaged iphone. you have to get it repair by yourself from unauthorised service center. Also we are not selling it to someone unknown but one of my member.
I got it opened from unauthorized party.so they have spare motherboard for the same. so thats why i asked
I hope you do not sell that phone to some poor unsuspecting person. Apple will be able to tell the phone was opened. Apple will refuse service on the device.
No no we will tell the person about it. I'm just concerned about the data. The phone is not in working condition. i'm not sure if i'm gonna sell the phone but still asking
I didn't backed up all the data but its okay 🙂
Great, then you have your answer.
Thank you for clarifying. Your above comment was confusing to me. As long as you are fully upfront about what you are selling, it's up to the buyer to make an informed choice.
