Hi guys

I have to return my Iphone 6s due to network coverage in my area (cancelling contract). As I have had personal docs, info on there, will the factory reset be safe enough for a return?

Thanks

Absolutely.

Later iOS versions (8 and up) are encrypted system wide anyways but a factory restore will definitely get rid of the info.

The most thorough scrub is by restoring via iTunes, but simply going to settings -> "reset" -> "erase all content and settings" will do fine.
