Simple answer: it'll leave your data on your phone. No part of Apple <br>

Copying is usually sufficient, and in case of error, having a copy on both devices is almost always superior to failing to copy then proceeding with the delete so you have no copies. So, erasing is usually not done as part of copying.</div></div></div>
