With the new iphones and apple watch coming out, I'm considering upgrading my iphone 8 plus. Having never had an iphone before, I've always used programs like ishredder to securely erase my previous android phones before selling them.

With Apple's emphasis on security and built in hardware encryption, are programs like ishredder just a waste of time and money? I've read their websites but they all seem pretty shady and I'm not sure I believe that it's possible to recover data after a factory reset on an iphone.

Thanks in advance
