wiping an Iphone 5

[siwil1]

Bit of a numpty at this but is a reset in settings sufficient to get rid of everything on the phone before I move it on or should I be doing anything else?

Dissociate it from your icloud account. Not got iphone now so can't tell you how, but make sure you do.

Yep, ensure it forgets iCloud or the new owner will be able to see all your pics etc. apart from that and a factory reset you should be fine.

Settings, iCloud then delete everything from there.

So you're telling him to wipe his icloud but not the phone?

OP: Settings > General > Reset > "Erase all contents and settings"

That'll wipe the phone, leaving your icloud ok, to restore to a new one if you wish.

No if you read his question it was "how do I get it to forget iCloud" I told him how to do that. He's already reset the phone seemingly.

You need to disassociate the iPhone from your iCloud and Find My iPhone, otherwise the new owner will not be able to use these features.

He says he's a numpty, so I assumed confusing the 2. I explained what my method would do, we await the judge to tell us what he really wanted!
