If you are trying to erase your iPhone and it is not working, there are a few steps you can take to try and resolve the issue. First, make sure that you have a good internet connection. The erasing process requires an active connection in order to complete. Next, make sure that the latest version of iOS is installed on your device by going into Settings > General > Software Update. If an update is available, be sure to install it before proceeding. Finally, if those steps do not help, try restarting your iPhone by pressing and holding down both the Sleep/Wake button and Home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo appear onscreen. After restarting, attempt erasing again. If this does not work then you may need to contact Apple Support for further assistance with this issue.

If your iPhone is unavailable and you cannot access it, there are a few steps you can take to try to get past the issue without erasing it.
First, try restarting your device by pressing and holding the power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen. If that doesn’t work, you can force-restart your device by pressing and releasing quickly both the volume up and volume down buttons followed by pressing and holding the power button until you see an Apple logo on your screen.
If these steps don’t help you get past the issue, then connect your iPhone to a computer using a lightning cable or USB port. Once connected to iTunes open its recovery mode so that it can detect any issues with your phone’s software. This should allow iTunes to restore or update any missing software in order for it to be available again without erasing all of its contents.
Finally, if none of these steps work then contact Apple Support for further assistance in resolving this issue without erasing data from your phone’s memory.
How many failed attempts of entering a passcode on an iPhone will erase its content?
The number of failed passcode attempts that will erase the content from an iPhone depends on the settings you have enabled. You can check these settings by going to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (or Face ID & Passcode). Under this menu, there is an option for “Erase Data” which gives you the ability to choose how many failed attempts will cause your data to be erased.
By default, it is set to 10 failed attempts, but you can change it so that after 5 or 15 failed attempts your data will be erased. It is important to note that if you do decide to enable this feature, it could lead to permanent data loss if entered incorrectly too many times; therefore, make sure your passcode is something easy for you to remember and difficult for others to guess.
