How to make a hard reset iPhone: two proven ways

Sooner or later the iPhone has to be put in order: clean it from different files, incorrect settings, etc. It helps in this case hard reset iPhone. It can be done in different ways, but most often the functionality of the phone itself is enough. Some users use iTunes. In this article, we'll look at both ways.

How to make a hard reset iPhone?

In the phone in the "Settings" section there is another section called "Reset". It is advised to apply in several cases:

1. When a new owner appears on the phone.
2. After experiments with applications. Sometimes different programs so clog up the system that it starts to work slowly.
3. When there are failures in the operation of the operating system. Although this happens rarely.

Let's go directly to the hard reset procedure. Before we recall that after the reset we will definitely need access to the Internet via Wi-Fi. Also it will take a lot of battery charge. If it is not 100% charged, then it's better to charge the smartphone.

So, go to "Settings", select "Basic", and then go to the "Reset" subsection. There are the following reset options:

1. All settings.
2. Contacts and settings.
3. Network settings.
4. Dictionary of the keyboard.
5. Warnings of geopolitics.

The very first option is to make a hard reset of the iPhone by clicking on the "Reset all settings" button. However, the information on the phone is not lost. After clicking on the button, a warning will appear that all multimedia files will not be deleted, although the settings will be reset. The hard reset of the iPhone lasts about a minute, with all the initial settings set, including among the applications (standard). Alarms are also reset, but the bookmarks in the calendar and Safari are not going anywhere.

Resetting content

When you need to make a hard reset 5s or another model with the removal of all content, then you should choose the option "Erase contacts and settings". This is an extremely convenient option for those who sell or give their phone to someone. Also, you can reset all parameters to zero by clicking on the "Erase content and settings" button. In this case, the two options described above will be applied simultaneously. The phone after activating this function will turn off for about 2 minutes and then turn on again without system settings, installed applications, and generally any files that you previously created or downloaded. This action is irreversible, so you need to think twice about how to erase all content and reset the settings.

After a hard reset, the iPhone will ask to be activated. This is what Internet is for. It will take either Wi-Fi or a computer with iTunes turned on. During activation, the phone connects to Apple's servers and is tested. Therefore, without the Internet, the phone can not be started at all. After this procedure, the phone will be new. On it there will be no traces of the former owner.

Hard Reset iPhone 5s via "Aityuns"

Resetting settings through iTunes is also easy. To do this, we connect the smartphone to the computer via a USB cable. We are waiting for the phone to synchronize with the program (iTunes creates copies of phone files at this time). In the program menu, select the option "Restore" or "Restore".

Each method is effective and will allow you to fully or partially return the phone to its original state.
