Restoration - difference between erase (iPhone vs iTunes)

We (me andChrisJ4203 ) were recently involved in a problem where the person had difficulty with a car with Bluetooth connection after unlocking

Limitations of the iphone unlocked 6

As we sifted through the questions: one thing that struck me.

The person had used the command "Erase content and settings" to restore the phone

Whenever I advise someone to do a restore - my reference is always using iTunes

Where the question: is there a difference - OR should there be a difference in the results produced by each?

(I was reading some old posts, who lamented a lack of in-depth technical discussions so that this came up - thinking, I could ask around)

Thank you for all you would care to provide views

I'll offer an opinion for what it's worth:

We will first consider restoring from iTunes method.  If we compare this to ' erase content and settings "followed by a restore of backup iTunes, I would say that the difference is restoring from iTunes combines some steps for the user, so they do not have to run each individually.  Basically, iTunes restore packages several stages together - erasure, then restore from backup.

Restore from iCloud has a much harder time to make this packaging, as he must first clear content and settings to even offer the ability to restore a backup to iCloud.

Finally, there is restore like new.  There are two ways to do this: one from iTunes and one from erasing content and settings.  So I think the iTunes method is just to be complete when the choice of a restore in iTunes, for the person to restore as a new, or restore from a backup in iTunes.

In any case, the result is in my opinion, there is no technical difference between results for any specific 'restore from/as... ". ', differences only packaging how to present questions to the person performing the restore.
