Is Updating IPhone to 5.1.1 Safe?

[Epicnessx]

Sorry I'm new so not quite sure if you're allowed to make 2 posts in a day.

I have a non jailbroken iPhone 4 and never update it and am considering doing so but I've heard quite a few negative things about the update. How do I backup photos, apps and music? And will it delete everything?

What sort of negative things have you heard / read ? If you can mentioned that we will be in better position to help you.
Btw i have an iPhone 4 which was till 2 months back on iOS 5.0 since it was software unnlocked. But after i got official unlock from AT&T, i updated the phone to iOS 5.1.1 and there are no problems.
But just that you should do a backup before your update your iOS version and then may be restore from the backup to get everything as it was before.

-wifi not working as well as 3G
-Everything getting erased
- apps not working

Sure, you can... but there's no reason why you couldn't ask these questions in your other thread that also asked about updating your phone.

Using iOS 5.1.1 here on iPhone 4 and everything works as expected. You don't have to worry. I suggest go ahead and update.

There were a couple of things wrong with 5.0 if I remember correctly, but they were quickly fixed (in 5.0.1).

5.1.1 is pretty solid though, AFAIK, there is no reason not to update to it.

From experience, I can say that 5.1.1 is perfect on the iphone 4.
You'll be happy you did.

Your safe just plug the phone into iTunes and let it sync, then right click on the phone in iTunes and chose back up there.

Then do the update, you will be fine.
