Q: Should i update to iOS 9.2.1 on my iPad 3 (iOS 8.4)?
I have an ipad 3 64gb wifi only. I'm currently on iOS 8.4, i'm thinking of updating to iOS 9.2.1.. Should i risk it? I'm afraid something will happen during the update, because my ipad is almost full (64gb) and i don't have a backup, and don't have a laptop to sync it. All the information on my ipad are important. and i'm afraid my iPad won't handle it and be very slow. Should i update?
iOS 8.4, iPad (3rd Generation) wi-fi , 64Gb

iCloud backups
With a Wi-Fi network connection, you can make a backup of your device using iCloud. You don’t need to plug your device into a computer or even be at home to back up with iCloud.
iCloud backups include nearly all data and settings stored on your device. iCloud backups don't include:
- Data that's already stored in the cloud, like contacts, calendars, notes, My Photo Stream, and iCloud Photo Library
- Data stored in other cloud services, like Gmail and Exchange mail
- Apple Pay information and settings
- Touch ID settings
- Content you didn't get directly from iTunes, App, or iBooks Stores, like imported MP3s, videos, or CDs
- iTunes in the Cloud and App Store content (If it's still available in the iTunes, App, or iBooks Store, you can tap to re-download your already purchased content.)
Learn how to make an iCloud backup, and how to manage iCloud storage or delete backups that you no longer need.
