Before selling your iPhone, you must protect your data and unlock the device for the next owner. First, back up your data using iCloud or a computer, and unpair your Apple Watch. Next, remove Apple Wallet cards, take out your physical SIM or delete your eSIM, and turn off iMessage and FaceTime if switching to Android. Finally, turn off Find My, sign out of your Apple account, and perform a factory reset by erasing all content and settings.
