Now that you know how to remove devices, the only thing left is to make sure you factory reset any that you decide to part with.

Just like on the Mac, we’ll get the same kind of verification dialog asking us to confirm removal of the iCloud device and a reminder that if it is still signed in, then it will simply reappear once it connects to the Internet. If you do this, then the next person to come along and use the device will set it up to work with their iCloud account. This isn’t normally a problem if you remember to reset your device to its factory defaults. In fact, those devices still remain tied to your iCloud account even if you no longer possess the device. You’ll add each device to your iCloud account, hoping to sync your notes, reminders, pictures, and all the other things iCloud lets you sync.īut, even though you’ve stopped using those old devices, they won’t automatically go away. It’s inevitable: you’re going to eventually upgrade your iPhone or Macbook to the newest version, taking advantage of whatever technological advancements Apple has come up with.
