[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1928628, member: 83420"] And to do that is much simpler than before, thank goodness: - that is, if your son has any other Mac device - all he has to do is open that device, go to System Settings on an iDevice, System Preferences on older Mac OSs, System Settings on Ventura - Tap or go into his Apple ID and there will be a list of Devices registered in his name. Tap or Click on the relevant iPhone 8, let it populate, then tap/Click on "Remove from Account" or similar command. If he doesn't own any Mac device - he could take the iPhone 8 (which is still in his name), power it up, go through the process of ownership including entering his Apple ID and after all is finished - then disassociate that iPhone from his Apple ID. Then wipe it clean as before then give it to Dad. An other option if he lives far away and it's difficult to get access to the 8, he could use any computer, go onto the web, sign in to Apple ID and remove the 8 from there. Lots of options :) Ian [/QUOTE]
