When you are restoring your iPhone 6 to factory settings, you are taking risk of losing your data, like contacts. Because factory reset just likes formatting device or deleting files from your iPhone 6. All the files or data you stored there will be gone. Actually the files are not gone. These operations (I mean factory reset, formatting, deleting, etc.) only free up the space which was taken by the files you stored on your device and make the space is available for the new files. In this case, it gives you the possibility to recover the contacts of this iPhone 6 after factory settings.
Generally, you can recover the lost contacts of iPhone 6 after factory settings from iTunes backups. But if only part of the contacts is lost and you don't want to erase what you have now, you need an iPhone Data Recovery tool to help you. You should know that iTunes doesn't allow you to recover data selectively.
Please choose the right version for your computer: iPhone Data Recovery (Mac) or iPhone Data Recovery (Windows). Both programs can help to find out all your iTunes backup files automatically and extract the whole contents for you to preview before recovery, so that you can recover your iPhone 6 contacts selectively from the backup without data lost.
