Feb 22, 2014 8:25 AM in response to milo33134by Ralph Landry1,You cannot update except to the latest iOS version...Apple removes the files for the older iOS versions when a new release takes place.

Dec 10, 2014 3:05 PM in response to Ralph Landry1by Wylann,I don't suppose there's a way to update to a later version (7.1.X) rather than all the way to 8.X.X?
I have a 4S, and have already had enough bad experiences with updating, and reading all the issues the 4S has with IOS 8, I'd rather not.
I'm 99% sure my next phone will be Android.

Dec 10, 2014 3:25 PM in response to Wylannby Lyssa,There's no reason not to stick with iOS 7 if that's your preference - I have a 4S on 7.1.2 and have no intention of going to iOS 8 unless I have to restore my phone.
Of course, if you're having issues, updating is one of the first troubleshooting recommendations.

How many times do you need to hear no? Any what issues are you hearing and from where? Many millions are having no issues with iOS8.1.1 Don't let forums like this have an impact on your decision. Stay with the iOS you already have if you don't want 8 for some reason.
