Leave some free space for a smoother running iPhone.
So your iPhone is having a few problems? Well, before you restore, there are a few things you can do to keep your iPhone in top shape. The first is to avoid overfilling it. Leaving about 2GB on a 16GB or 32GB model (and 1GB on an 8GB model) seems to do the trick and keeps apps that are prone to crashing - such as Safari and Maps -much happier than if the iPhone is full.
Secondly, turn it off once in a while. It may sound obvious, but a good old restart, just like on any OS, does an excellent job of tidying up a lot of problems. It's very tempting to leave the iPhone on all the time and just charge it when it's running low, but it's worth turning it off every now and again.
Delete stuff you don't need. Leaving reams and reams of SMS conversations, emails and podcasts on your iPhone is taking up valuable storage space. Every so often, clear out those unwanted SMS messages and keep your email tidy - just like you would on your PC or Mac at home or work.
And, similarly, only keep the apps you really need on your iPhone. There's no point in having an app sitting there doing nothing - perhaps a free one that you downloaded just because it was available at no cost -and taking up storage and Home screen space. You can easily sync them back on when you really need them.
