If I restore my iPhone, is there a way I can keep my current iOS version?

This is my first time having to do a full reset so I'm not sure how everything ends. The Apple site mentioned that resetting with iTunes will erase everything and install the latest software.

I have a 16GB iPhone 5s (only 12GB usable) so I'm pretty limited with space. I currently have iOS 7, but I feel that if iOS 9 is installed, I'll be back to having limited storage space again even after the reset. Is there any way to avoid this? Or can I go back to iOS 7 if I restore with a backup.

You will actually have slightly more storage as the size of iOS 9 is fairly small. But to answer the question, you can't restore without it doing an update, that's how Apple coded it

  • Restore back to iOS 6 to download Official version of iOS 7? I currently have iOS 7 Beta 2 running on my iPhone 5. My question is that when the official version of iOS 7 comes out in the fall, will I have to restore my iPhone back to iOS 6.1.4 in order to install the official version of iOS 7?

  • Is there a way you can restore an iPhone to the settings of another iPhone? Like if you have an iPhone and someone else who lives in your house like in your family has an iPhone too, can you restore it to the settings of their phone, so you have all of their music, photos, etc. On YOUR phone? Or is this not possible yet?
  • If i restored my iphone, is there a way to revert to a previously saved version? I had a problem with my phone and the people at the apple store told me I had to restore my phone to a new version - I knew I'd lose my notes and pictures but wasn't aware I'd lose my contacts and calendar (no, i wasn't using icloud and didn't have them synced anywhere else). THe restore didn't fix the problem… So is there any way for me to "undo" the restore? Maybe restore from like a week ago's version?
