Will updating an iPhone 5 wipe it out?
I want to update my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 when it comes out, and I don't have enough space in my computer to back it up. Will updating it wipe out it's contents, like apps and stuff?
No its shouldint wipe out your iphone
No it's only updating the software on the phone. Nothing will be lost, contacts, apps, pictures, emails, etc will all still be there.
I've updated my iPhone without backing it up 4 times when the updates were released and I've never lost anything.
No, you can update to iOS 7 without losing your content. However, it's a good idea to have a backup. You can always use iCloud backup for free.
Also, if you want to try iOS 7 early, you can register your device's UDID at http://www.instantudid.com/ and you'll be able to to activate the beta. It's only $5, totally worth it for trying iOS 7 before everyone else.
- Would resetting an iPhone wipe out everything on my YouTube acct? I had to reset iPhone to factory settings. When I went to YouTube I was of course logged out but everything is erased when I logged in. All my favorites and my subscriptions and history. How can a reset affect what's in the account?
- 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 iTunes wipe out my iPhone data if it wants to Set as New iPhone? I've owned an iPhone 5s for over a year, it's currently running iOS 10.3.3 but I've just connected to iTunes for the first time however I only get 2 options, either "Set it up as new iPhone" or "Restore from an old backup", but that last backup is from 2015. So, if if I select "As New iPhone" will it wipe out my data?
