Using Old Iphone
Ive recently upgraded my phone and am thinking of giving my old iphone 4s to my 7 year old to use for games etc
I dont want it wiping and resetting as he will lose all the game progress.
All content I need is now on my new phone, so do I just delete all pics, music, my apps and leave on his games?
If I connect to itunes to try and update the software. Will it know its a seperate device or will it try and sync it back to how it was?
Sorry for the stupid questions I just find itunes so temperamental & fustrating!

iTunes can handle multiple devices, it won't sync the deleted content back (unless you were to do a restore to an old back). Syncing will make a new back up minus the deleted content.====0
