Re: [apple-iphone] Restore vs. Sync

Architecturally your data and the os are kept separately. A restore will reload the os while a synch or restore from backup affects your data. Note that restore from backup is not the same as the restore suggested on your device summary tab in iTunes as a possible remedy for bad behavior. That latter restore is an os restore in case something in the os got corrupted. A synch won't touch the os code. It only affects your data.
