I just got a 6s and, after restoring my backup, I wiped my 6. I read this morning that I should have turned off iMessage and iCloud before I wiped the device (I did turn off Find My iPhone). Is this really necessary after a factory wipe? I am selling my 6 and I don't want to have issues with someone getting my iCloud or iMessage data. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

It's not necessary after you do erase all settings and content. However, double check on the icloud lock thing, follow this just to be sure: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201351
