Should I wipe my phone before I take it in to the apple store for a battery replacement?
I will be taking my iPhone mini 13 to the Apple store for a battery replacement. For security reasons, do you recommend erasing it before the replacement, and then restoring afterwards? If you have the answer on your site, I apologize, but didn’t find it. I read conflicting advice elsewhere online. Most advice said it was not necessary for security unless I mailed the device to Apple.
Husband doesn’t think it is necessary to erase, but suggested I check with you in case recommended precautions have changed.
Thanks,

I don't think it is necessary but it is totally understandable to have that concern. The battery replacement can be done without needing access to the phone then if they'd like to check the status (percentage of power etc…) they can do that in front of you after they return the phone to you.
