You have 2 options.


  1. If you have access to a newer device, you can "purchase" the apps with your Apple ID on that device then download the latest compatible version to your device.
  2. If you do not have access to a newer device, you will need to purchase a newer device to use these apps. You device is 7 years old and has served a long and useful life.
