Here is the full “Apple” step-by-step process to be followed:


What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Following these steps - in this order - ensures that your own data is backed-up, that your iCloud data is protected, that the device is “wiped” of your personal data, AND that the phone is NOT “activation locked” so that it indeed has value to the donee.
