    Go into Settings.

    Under "General" scroll to the bottom and there should be a tab that says "reset"

    Choose that and it should give you the options you need.

    I don't know if iPhones have a secure wipe, but make sure you do an actual secure wipe, or fully encrypt the phone and wipe a second time. Data restoration is stupidly easy on something that's only had things deleted.

    What is this I don't even.
