hi

My iPhone is 4S used for many years. Very foolishly I updated the iOS few months ago and everything becomes so lagged and I have to buy a new phone.

I never used iCloud or any backup. I am very inexperienced. I have a lot of contacts / SMS / Notes and photos that I want to back up them. It shouldn't exceed 5GB free space.

I'd like to know if it's better to backup everything to iCloud or to PC computer by iTunes?? Which one is more complete?

I also have an iPad I also want to backup everything (or most things) . Of courses my iPhone and iPad contains different contents. Do I need two Apple ID? If I use only one Apple ID, would it mix up, overwrite or lose some contents ??? I am not really familiar with iOS....
