How to Backup iPhone to Laptop

The long we have used our iPhone, the more data we have stored in it. Our iPhone has limited storage space, so we need to clear our iPhone from time to time to make sure there is enough space to store the new data on our iPhone. But some information like messages, contacts, notes, photos are very important for us that we need to review sometimes, thus we had better create backup for these data regularly and delete them from devices after creating backups. Now the question is how to create backup for your iPhone?

iCloud and iTunes are two main ways to create backup for your iPhone. However, you should know that iTunes and iCloud backup don't allow users to preview the data in it until you try to restore your iPhone from them, which will also replace your current data on device with the information in them, and they won't allow you to selectively backup what you want but all the data on iPhone. Besides iTunes or iCloud backup, if you want to preview and selectively backup the information on iPhone you need, you can try to backup your iPhone to laptop.
