How to restore Iphone 3GS notes after updating my phone when synced?

I have heard that several people have lost their notes after updating their Iphone. I have lost two notes now. Are my notes going to continue to delete or drop off? Is this normal? I have 49 notes… I have seen online where I can restore from my phone. But they want to charge me $69. I feel if the Apple company is in error for this happening. That they should allow to retrieve the notes for FREE.
If anyone knows the step by step procedure. I would greatly appreciate the advice…

If you have synced with iCloud, restore from it that's FREE.
Some 3rd party app can also read them, but they are not be FREE.

Such as http://datarecoveryforiphone.com/ios-data-recovery.html. It's a good 3rd party app.

  • Will updating my iPhone apps affect my phone speed as how updating the Operating System (OS) will? Currently I'm using the iPhone 5s on iOS 8.3 I know if I were to update my phone to the latest OS I may notice some slowdown on my phone's performance, since it may not have the "muscle" to handle certain functions. Many apps now are optimised for iOS 9 and/or the 6th generation phones. Will my 5s' speed performance slow down if I update my apps? Will the app's performance slow down?
  • Will updating my iPhone 4 to ios 7 delete my notes? Everything else is backed up to iCloud, but my notes won't transfer… I want to upgrade my phone but I can't lose my 89 notes… Lol is there a way to back them up without emailing each one? Will the upgrade even affect the notes app? Any help is greatly appreciated!
