Now that eSIM is the only option in many countries for iPhones I show you how to reset iPhone to Factory and also what happens with eSIM. Thanks for watching, it is always appreciated.

Aaron is the only YouTuber I’ll watch even if the video isn’t relevant to me. Such a cool dude

[julianvillarreal]

Nice explaining, Aaron. I understand why you did this since eSIM is now the only option for iPhones.

[ievmotron]

Hi Aaron if I factory reset my phone with iOS 18 beta on it will it revert back to iOS 17? I don’t care if I lose my iCloud as I only had iCloud for a few months and haven’t done much with it while using beta, any help would be great! Thank you for all that you do for the community aswel! I’m a big fan of your work!!

[TechlikeLeon]

Thanks for the video. Continue doing such great videos. You’re my most watched YouTuber. ❤

[anthonylethbridge]

Good video. However do we no have to switch of find my in the process?

[ChrisCJ]

Very helpful, thank you.
I’m sure the process will be a little bit different as I’m switching to android/S23 Ultra, from iPhone but at least I know how to properly factory reset the iPhone and what steps to take.

Hi Arron, great video. I have an iPhone X and an Apple watch ultra. I’m going to get an iPhone 15 Pro max at launch.
I would really like to see a video that is focused on getting a new iPhone and transferring the old phone to the new one and mainly focusing on how to transfer the Apple Watch without losing health App data…

[partyboynj]

Hello everyone! I don’t have a new iPhone, but would really like to do a full reset on my 13 Pro Max because of performance issues and bugs that don’t seem to be rectified with new iOS updates.
If I follow Aaron‘s instructions exactly as in the video and keep my eSIM configuration, my question is will I be able to download from iCloud back up and restore my phone back to its original state before I did the full reset. I’d like to do a full reset but don’t want to lose any of my text messages and things of sort. Has anyone done this in the past? Please help as I would really rather not purchase a brand new iPhone if this reset would possibly help with some performance issues that I’m currently having.

I was really wondering, is resetting on iPhone the same as resetting using IPSW(with Mac)?

[Lynn-zwdr]

Useful info, thank you Aaron, you're a mind of information! ❤️😊x

[darshanullas]

Hello sir, very useful information thanks a lot...

[techendows]

hello screen doesn't appears if we only reset the settings right?

[Ios.]

6:47 you know I start to miss the iOS 16 wallpaper now that I’ve had the iOS 17 wallpapers for like 7 months now

[jeffhale]

Thanks for sharing this informative video. Blessings on your day!

[ZCEAV]

I’m confused about the eSIM. I’m giving my old phone to my mom (who is in the same AT&T plan as me) and I’ve already transferred data to my new iPhone 15. I’m about to wipe my old phone to give to her but do I not delete the eSIM since we are in the same plan? Or will her eSIM be transferred from her phone once I give it to her? So confused

[userharrisel]

At 2:00, I didn’t quite understand what you told about using a computer to revert back to what apple allows.
Does that mean if iPhone 13 series running ios 16 can be restored to ios 15 when restored using a computer?

[armygaming]

Hi Aaron can you make a video for first time mac users ?? I am buying my first MacBook so some first time tips would be useful for me

[DrakeEdwards]

Aaron!! I need your advice I know this is off-topic of this video but my iPhones battery health recently dropped to 79 and I don’t have the funds at the moment to get a new phone or replace the battery is it OK to still use it with it being this low? Kindest regards. Drake

[DilGoZian]

Hi Aron! I am currently using ios 17 beta but i want to go back to ios 16 but i am scared that in that process my esim will be gone! is there any way to backup esim?
