A friend updated an iPhone to iOS 6 and it wiped out the Contacts from both the Mac and the iPhone. Wasn’t using iCloud. No local backup.

@mjtsai Ouch! I had no such issues, but I dd have an encrypted backup before upgrading.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 25 Feb 2013

@leebennett At the very least, iTunes should have made an updated backup before it installed iOS 6!
Lee Bennett ‏@leebennett 25 Feb 2013

@mjtsai Don't the upgrade steps include advising you to perform a sync and backup?
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 25 Feb 2013

@leebennett iTunes is supposed to do that automatically before it updates the OS.

@mjtsai That's never been my observation.
