How to Factory Reset Your iPhone Before Selling or Trading In According to the ICO, 14 million people in the UK do not know how to erase data from an old device. That statistic, published in December 2024, is striking enough on its own — but scale it into an organisational context and the implications become considerably more serious. If nearly a quarter of the adult population is unclear about how to wipe a personal smartphone, what does that mean for a business managing dozens or hundreds of corporate devices through a refresh cycle? The risks run in two directions. [...]

    According to Deloitte estimates, around 7 million unused phones worth more than £500 million are sitting idle across the UK right now. Some are in kitchen drawers. Many more are in IT storage rooms, locked in device cupboards, or listed on internal asset logs that nobody has reviewed since the last refresh cycle. The value is real.

For UK businesses approaching a device refresh cycle, fleet upgrade, or office decommission, the question of what to do with outgoing phones is rarely treated with the strategic attention it deserves. The instinct [...]

Let’s take a moment to share some important information about the WEEE Directive, which stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment.
