Is It Possible Photo & Video Files On iPhone To Reappear After a Factory Reset?

Hello Mr. Gary, I want to ask you a question. How to reset iphone permanently. On my iphone there are files that are “private” and I have moved them to the hard disk. I’ve known on Android, that even if the phone has been deleted and reset, there is still something that can bring back the files that were there. Is this possible on iphone or macbook? I am afraid if the file is spread online by irresponsible people. Because I have plans to sell my iphone and macbook. Thank you for your help and time Mr. Gary.

    See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201351 to learn how to reset your iPhone.

    After you reset, the files are gone. They cannot be recovered. This is because all files are encrypted in your iPhone's storage. Resetting not only erases the files, but any "leftover" data would be garbage as it would be fragments of encrypted bytes with the key to decrypt gone forever.

    Alright then. Means 100% safe when we do a factory reset before selling our apple products. None of the data can be recovered even though it has been deleted. Thank you very much for all the help Mr. Gary. Respect.
