iphone 6 reset & restore contacts

[charger_john]

My iPhone 6 has some performance issues and I've decided I should reset it, so as to just wipe out everything that might be bogging it down.

After I do that I will bring in the apps & data that I want.

BUT, I'm afraid that if I use iTunes to do my restore, that it will reload EVERYTHING and the phone will end up just like it is now.

Basically I can reload everything I want myself, but it would be nice if I can use iTunes to bring back the contacts ONLY (nothing else comes back). Anyone know if this is possible?

By the way I'd rather not use iCloud.

Thanks!

You can restore your iPhone to factory settings via iTunes - without a backup, so it will be as new. You could use iCloud to just back up your Contacts only.
