iPad - erase data completely I am selling my old iPad 4, in which I stored some private data. I have done erasing my iPad data and settings, is it true that all my data is really gone and completely unrecoverable?

If not, what else should I do to make sure my data is unseen by the buyer?
Data on an iOS device [3GS &amp; later] is protected by hardware encryption.

Wiping the device using Apple's guide at What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is quite sufficient.
