I am confused.

If you carry out an iOS update in the normal manner, you do not loose your contacts.

What part of the story are you not telling us ?

Altho' I despise Apple as a bunch of tax dodging, illegal price maintaining corporate sharks of the worst order, The Ancient House has a number of their products.
All our updates are done via itunes, which is set to do backups before updates. If you do it that way, even techie morons like me can't get it wrong.

Spout out that load of unnecessary apple bashing once more young man and you are going on my ignore list. I'm fed up of you and your ignorant Apple bashing.

Apple are not the only large corporate in the world. Large corporates employ all sorts of tactics, and there is absolutely no excuse for you to go around blaming Apple for something that everybody is doing.

If you feel so badly about Apple why buy their products? Strange. Obviously Apple must be doing something right because they don't need to discount their products to sell them unlike other operating systems do. Customers queing all hours to get their hands on the latest Apple product. Not many companies can boast that. Yes you pay extra but get a quality product.

Back on track iTunes is the key when updating your Apple product. Perhaps your iPhone is jailbroken and therefore become unstable. You don't give any other details in order to help.

Apple as a corporate entity is all those things I said, and worse. Even Congress says so. (Mind, they're politicians).I agree that some others are just as bad. Amazon are even worse.
One might sensibly decide to carry out corporate tax mixing in Holland, and do B 2 B invoicing from Luxemburg, when owned by an Irish entity that makes no money in Ireland, but these 2 take it further than anyone else, and they are B2C, whilst expecting the NHS, Police, etc to look after their UK based employees and customers.

But, some of their products are quite good. Those I can afford, - remember i'm on a pension - , and have the need for, I am willing to buy.

I guess this is what you could do if someone you know could spare you an iPhone for a day or so:-

1. Get an iPhone and take a backup of the same on your system - use iTunes to do that;
2. Now (this is really critical and follow it at your own risk) log into your iCloud account on the phone and restore that phone while pointing to the iCloud backup. In this was you will have all of the iCloud data in that phone;

3. Now use another computer (or at least another user account on the same computer) to take a backup of the phone with your data - don't use the same account as everytime iTunes takes a backup of your phone, it overwrites the previous one. So you risk a chance of loosing the data which originally came with the phone;

4. Get an iPhone Data Recovery software and install it on the computer which has your data backed up.

I hope this will help you
