Does syncing an iPhone change its iOS?
I haven't synced my iPhone 3G in a while, and have recently heard about the problems with Apple's iOS 6.
While, if the phone's OS can change through syncing it, I've yet to notice it actually changing anything, I'd prefer not to suddenly get 'Apple Maps' instead of Google Maps next time I sync my iPhone.
Added (1). Apparently iOS 6 is not even compatible with the iPhone 3G.
If that's the case, then it wouldn't be installed into my phone, no?

It doesn't just automatically update the phone. I'm not sure if iPhone 3G is even compatible with ios 6.plug your phone in your computer and Go to iTunes and click restore/update on the device tab and you'll get the latest software supported by your model.
Nah, upgrading the operating system requires you to accept the Terms & Conditions of Service.
Apple can't just switch all of your phone's software without your approval. If you don't want to upgrade, just decline whenever prompted.
I've deliberately held other devices back from the latest upgrades.
Not a big deal.

I'm trying to since my iphone 4 onto my computer and it keeps telling me that if I sync it, more than 25% of my contacts will be changed on this computer. What does this mean?

All my friends have gotten iOS 7 already! Why doesn't mine say I need to update to iOS 7! And how can I make it say that? And I know that the iPhone 4s can get it.
