No, not updating. But if you restore it will. Updating is not as aggressive as restoring.

A restore, as opposed to an update, will wipe out third party apps. Updating tries to keep everything in place, and then applies the update. A restore just about wipes the device, and then updates.

The difference between updating and restoring is evidenced by the need to update, rather than restore, to 1.1.2 after running the prep tool under 1.1.1 (since a restore wipes out the prep, along with apps, BSD subsystem, etc.).
