If you try to install an app that requires a higher version of iOS than the one you are running now, the App Store will give you a generic error message that you need to update iOS.


The App Store not check whether you can update your current phone that far. If you can, fine. If you can't, then if you want to install that app, you will need to buy a new phone. All the App Store bases the message on is what you are running right now, versus what you need to be running.
