Factory reset doesn't delete persistent app data enabled by app developer [paraphrased]

What about Erase All Content and Settings? You seriously can't fully erase a second-hand phone you bought?! That's insane

What's even worse is that Apple is not fully erasing the phones that they refurbish.

They are fully erasing it. But it's still the same iPhone. With a device ID that is banned.
