Is there a way to factory reset an iphone 5s with out iTunes

Sure thing, just get into settings/general..at the bottom you’ll find the reset menu, choose reset data and settings..you’ll be prompted with the Apple ID password, just authenticate and the iPhone will restart and you’ll find it fully wiped, as new.

You have 5 options:

  1. Take the phone to an Apple Store
  2. iTunes
  3. DFU mode then iTunes
  4. iCloud find my iphone remote reset
  5. on device settings
