Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have an old iphone that was not traded-in when new phone was purchased. The old iphone is registered with another party. The phone is not registered on the icloud account of the other party but still has the other party credentials if it was to be used locally (using wi-fi only). Would erasing the data on the old phone cause any issues with the account or data of the other party?
Hello Iphone13dude,
After reviewing your post, it seems like you want to know if erasing an iPhone will effect data on another device. Activation Lock is a feature that's designed to prevent anyone else from using the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Erasing all content and settings on the iPhone would not erase all other devices used by the previous party.
