Erase all content and settings is absolutely what you should do before selling or giving away your iPhone.


It will erase the apps from your iPhone, but (assuming you purchased those apps from the App Store) they will still be associated with your Apple ID, and you can download them on subsequent Apple devices you use.

Only the apps that are part of iOS will remain on the phone.


If you're going to sell it, use "Erase All Content and Settings".


If you're selling it, what difference does it make to you if the apps get erased? You don't have the legal right to transfer any apps you bought to anyone else. Not to mention the fact that you stated you have never been able to download new apps...


Why don't you just re-post the question in your native language. There are so many contradictions in your post that i don't believe you're conveying the questions you think you are.
