Reset iPhone 4 - how it works
You can reset your iPhone 4 in just a few steps. The files can be completely deleted on request. Then your iPhone 4 is in the factory settings. We will explain the two different methods to you.
Reset iPhone without iTunes
You can delete all data in the settings of your iPhone 4 and thus reset the iPhone to the factory settings. So your iPhone is optimally prepared for resale or exchange.
- Start the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
- Now navigate to the "General" item.

Restore factory settings with the help of iTunes
ITunes also gives you an opportunity to reset your iPhone 4. To do this, connect your iPhone to your computer and start iTunes.
