Will I lose my data if I update my iPhone?
My iPhone 5 is still version 6.1.4, I have never updated since the version with the new look came out with the circle unlock pad and even the app icons look different. I've always been scared that I would lose all my data such as my music and my photos. But there are too many apps out there now that requires iOS 7.0 or higher and I thought its time I update my phone as well. I asked some of my friends whether I lose or keep my data and I don't have a solid answer. So anyone who know for sure, can you please help me with this. If I have to use iCloud please tell me how I do it.
You will only lose data you choose to delete. Updating to iOS 7 will not make you lose data in less you delete it yourself.
No you wouldn't but at the same time no problem in doing a backup prior.
Generally speaking, no, but you'd better back up your iPhone first.

Hi, I have an iPhone 4 and have wanted to update my phone to ios7 for a while now but I can't back up my data because of many issues, I have tried everything and it won't work. Everyone I have asked has told me to just do it but my photos are very important to me and I don't want my phone to be wiped. Should I update or not? Before suggesting alternate methods to back up I seriously mean it when I say I have tried everything haha! Yes or No? What's the difference anyway?
