I have a iPhone 4s currently running iOS 5.0. I wanted to know the steps I would need to take if:

1) I wanted to update my iOS to 5.1 without losing my apps/data stored on iPhone

2) If I wanted to restore the iPhone without updating the iOS.
 
i heard you restore, you get newest iOS. i'm on 5.0.1 and want to get 5.1 to be up to date but theres no UTJB

You cant currently restore an iphone 4S without updating to the lastest firmware.
You can backup your iphone with itunes and then update it to 5.1 if you want.
Then when its done you can restore from backup and have it the same way it was before.
