If you are someone who has been using your Apple ID on multiple devices for a long time, then chances are you have a long list of trusted devices linked to your account. That can pose a huge security risk if you pass on your old devices to someone else. So, if your list for trusted devices has become too long, here’s how you can remove a trusted device from your Apple ID using your iPhone, iPod, or iPad.

Now, do keep in mind that removing a trusted device from the list would not reset or wipe that device. It simply unlinks your Apple ID from that particular device and you can again add it to your list later if you wish to.
