Updating iPhone 4 to iOS6

I noticed that my iPhone 4 w/iOS5 uses more storage memory than iPhone 4s w/iOS5 or iOS6.
iOS6 requires 2.4GB of storage.  Is there any disadvantage to upgrading to iOS6, e.g., will I lose more storage space to the iOS?
When I read of advantages it seems they are mostly for the iPhone 5. 

it is better  to upgrade because u will get more apps better apple support and it will improve ur phone perfomance and stiblity and also fix bugs

  • HT4972 Update iphone 4 to iOS6.1.6 from iOS6.1.3 ...

    How can I update my iphone 4 to iOS6.1.6 from iOS6.1.3 and not iOS7.0.6?  Currently in iTunes, I can only do software update to IOS7.0.4.

    Most likely your phone was hacked to unlock it from the carrier it was locked to. When you updated it the lock was restored.

  • HT4623 can i update iphone 3g to ios6

    can i update iphone 3g to ios6

    Stop yelling.
    It is not physically possible to update an iPhone 3G to iOS 6. The highest version of iOS it will run is 4.2.1.
    If, on the other hand, it is actually a 3GS, it can run iOS 6.1.6
    Have you considered doing what it's telling you to do and connecting it to your computer running iTunes?

  • Updated iPhone 3GS to iOS6 and lost all contacts

    I updated my iPhone 3GS to the new iOS6 yesterday. It took a while, but everything worked just fine. Today, I tried to do the same to my husband's phone, which is identical to mine. It extracted, but then would not restore. I see the apps that were removed from his phone, as well as the music, in iTunes; but all of his contacts are gone. I've tried every suggestion I can find online, and nothing is helping me locate them. When I right-click on his phone under the Devices header, the drop down doesn't give me the option to restore from backup; it just says Backup. Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED.

    Actually.... contacts are part of an iTunes backup.
    You can verify that information here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    But it seems the issue here is the fact that you can't find how to restore from a previously created backup. There is no button to hit to do so...
    You can go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings (on your device)
    This will restart the setup assistant for you... and as you're going through you can select to restore your device from an iTunes backup.

  • Trying to update iphone & ipad to ios6; error says "software update server cannot be contacted, Check network settings." I'm online and not sure which settings it is refering to..

    is this a security firewall?  how do I allow the update and keep my system protected at the same time?

    Let's try the following document with that one.
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    (If the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.)

  • Safari not able to access internet through wifi after updating iphone 3gs with ios6

    i have updated my iphone 3GS with ios 6 and initially my wifi worked fine but for some strange reason it stopped connecting to internet even though its connected to my home wifi i have and tried and failed with all the possible solutions given in this forum i am able to use safari with my cellular data network but with wifi its not working please provide me with a solution

    well, first check whether you're connected to the blackberry network...
    how can I check whether myself connected to blackberry?
    Check within the network bars on the phone whether it is showing you 3G, EDGE or GPRS in capital letters...!!
    If not give a hard-reset to the phone (remove the battery put it back once)...
    And if it shows in caps letters then try requesting for services again... how? on the phone desktop > within the search bar > type "Host Routing Table".... search results shows you as "options"... select that & select host routing table... afterwards, hit the blackberry menu button > select register...

    Use Safari. Or get a new phone. Your phone is 5 generations out of date.

  • I updated my IPad 2 and IPhone 4S to IOS6 and now I am unable to use Music on my IPhone (All is well with the IPad2)

    After updating my IPad2 and IPhone 4s to IOS6 I can not use the Music function on the IPone to play songs.  The IPad 2 is okay.  Help!

    This is what I have discovered. If I purchase an app that I've never purchased before it does download to both devices. Seems to only work when a never before used app is downloaded. If I have previously downloaded an app before I began using iCloud to sync multiple devices the apps don't appear on all devices.

  • I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.  In the process, I ran into a problem and had to restore factory settings.  After syncing the phone, I see that 218 apps need to be updated. When selecting "update all," it says "manage local device storage usage." How?

    I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.  In the process, I ran into a problem and had to restore factory settings.  After syncing the phone, I see that 218 apps need to be updated. When selecting "update all," it says "Cannot Download.  There is not enough available local storage to download these items.  You can manage your local device storage usage in Settings."
    How can this be the case when I haven't changed any apps from before updrading to iOS6, and I don't have any music yet on the phone?  Why is it telling me there is not enough local space?

    Hi RileyAvaCadenRiver,
    If you recently updated your iPhone to iOS7, you will need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1 or newer for it to correctly recognize the iPhone. You may find the following link helpful:
    Apple: iTunes 11.1.1

  • I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

    I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable.  I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore?  The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings.  They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with.  Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts.  This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...?  Any help here would be greatly apprecaited.  I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.
