How long should it take my iPhone 4 to reset to factory settings?

I deleted all of my pictures, contacts, messages, apps and music, but I have one of those iPhones that will take up "other" memory if I update it and I have to reset it. How long should this take?

If you go in settings and press reset to factory settings not very long at all. Much less than one minute. I believe mine took around 30 seconds but that was a very laggy one.

  • Will the MAC address of my iPhone reset if I reset my iPhone to its factory settings over iTunes? I have jailbroken my device and used terminal to change my MAC address so that I could connect to school's Wi-Fi. But when I wanted to change it to its initial number, I typed in a wrong value and it just messed up my Wi-Fi, I can't connect to Wi-Fi anymore. Wonder if resetting to factory settings would help…

  • What will happen if I reset my iPhone to factory settings? And how do I do it? I just got iOS7 but I have to say, I'm very disappointed with the outcome. If I reset it to "factory settings" will it go back. Also if I do that will it delete everything on my iPhone. Actually, scratch that.iOS7 already deleted EVERYTHING. I very much dislike this. How do I go back?
