Do you do fresh installs of iOS or is it a waste of time?

I just make sure I have a backup and just update each time. Not a problem for me.

How are you backing up? iTunes backs up a lot less now than they did a couple of years ago. Unless you use iCloud then your your apps, images, etc. isn't getting backed up. Are you using a third part solution, iCloud?

My iCloud stuff is default but I do a backup of my purchases and whatever iTunes can backup as well. I don’t really worry about it. My phone has nothing on it that I would be sad to lose.

I like to keep things like voicemails, text messages, etc., and then there is the wife's music and photos, all of which are no longer backed up by iTunes.

If I need to keep something important I have it written down elsewhere.

Fresh installs (DFU restore) always. I sign into iCloud for contacts, calendars, and notes, but the rest is all fresh/untouched.
