You can not upgrade to iOS 8.

The 4S can be upgraded to iOS 9.3.2

THe 4 can be upgraded to 7.1.2.

Alright alright. So I'm in the same situation as some of the other people here.

My iPhone has been sold to its previous owner as a 4S, and checks out with the usually cited physical differences. Yet cannot update to 8 (or 9, for that matter, as it would be now).

What scares me is that if there really isn't any outer difference between some of the models, a lot of customers at less trustes resellers might have been swindled into thinking they have been buying 4S when they only bought 4.

In any case, I will have to check up on the actual model number and look in the online tables to be sure. I find it highly frustrating that essential basic information like this (such as whether you have a 4 or 4S) isn't provided anywhere inside the OS itself.

Maybe this has been remedied in later OS versions or models, but for now, suffice it to say that I have wasted an inordinate amount of time setting up what might ultimately be a useless piece of equipment to me.

The information that you're looking for is the model number.

Yes, I am aware.

Turns out the phone is indeed a 4 and not a 4S, so the OS updates don't lie. As they say.

Hello, I have similar problem

My phone is 4s on ios 7.0.4

I have the latest iTunes 12.2.2

I got free space 13G (should be enough for update)

on the summary of my iPhone, iTunes says: A newer version of the iphone is available (ver 9.3.5), but when i click update i keep getting a message: This version of the iTunes (12.2.2) is the newest version. Then if I clik OK nothing happen.

Can you guys help me out? Thank you in advance 🙂

What happens you you try to do the update over the air from the phone? Settings>General>Software Update

Ph yes that's another problem, my WIFI phone has broken looong time ago so I practically cannot update directly via my iphone.

So only option is via iTunes ... but then ... as I mentioned above, that iTunes message is very strange....

What computer OS are you using? iTunes 12.2.2 is not sufficient for iTunes 9.3.5. Have you tried to update iTunes? The current version is 12.5.1, but I believe 12.4 worked with iOS 9.3.5. The update to iTunes should allow you to update the iOS.

Hi ChrisJ, my mac OS is 10.7.5 ... I ve been wondering if i hv to update the mac os, should I?

What version of OS X are you running? The latest iTunes requirement:

"OS X version 10.9.5 or later"

Seems to me that iTunes 12.4 required OS X 10.8.x, but as Malcolm has said iTunes 12.5.1 require OS X 10.8.5 or newer.
