iPhone v3.0 - Restore or Update

[digbyp]

I have a 3G, have not done or had to do a restore for probably 6 months.

Is now a good time as any to restore rather than update. I have read some threads from people who had to do it for technical reasosn rather than choosing to do so.

Do the benefits of a restore outweigh just keep on updating. Will a restore make a big difference?


thanks

Think of a restore as an OS reinstall. It is good to do every once-in-a-while, especially when installing the new OS.

One reason for considering a Restore, is this 3G is 11 months old and just recently, the battery life has noticibly reduced.

Would a Restore improve battery life?
