No it won't
It's not supposed to, but it can happen. That is why you are warned to backup your phone before upgrading.
No, updating any Apple device to the latest firmware will not delete any data. It should be backed up to iCloud or a computer anyways. The only thing it would delete is your jailbreak if your phone happens to be jailbroken. This applies to iPod Touch and iPads as well.
- Will this software update erase all my data? I got an iphone 4 and it wants me to do a software update. I remember doing those on my ipod and it would erase all my apps abd music and stuff. If i do it on my iphone will it do that? If so how do i get it not to?
- Will syncing my iPhone erase all of my data? My computer had a hard drive problem so they replaced my computer. I know syncing my iPhone (4s if it matters) to the computer will wipe the current music on my phone, which is fine. I just want to know if it will wipe my other data. Such as pictures, apps, things like that. I would just like to know if it does or not before I sync just so I can save my pictures and things to another place.
- What will erase and sync erase on my iphone? I wanted to connect my iphone to a new computer but it says erase and sync, what will it erase? All of the contents or just music?
- If you update your iPhone 4S to 6.0.1 through Wi-Fi, does it erase all your data? I have updated to 6.0 before on my laptop in iTunes, but strangely it didn't erase all my data, so I didn't have to back up. I didn't see it automatically back up during the process of updating, so I was wondering if it would erase all my iPhone data if I updated it through Wi-Fi. A few months before, when I updated to 5.1.1 it erased all my data. I'm not sure if Apple did anything to 6.0 that made it not erase my data…
