i want to install ios 8 to my iphone 4. how can i update

TThere are 27 pages in this thread repeating over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over that say you can not upgrade an iPhone 4 higher than 7.1.2.

WHY did you waste your time asking? Do you think the answer will magically change if you ask just one more time?

Well, they would just start all over again anyway. People are going to ask the same inane question, and despite there being 5,749 pages of answers, they are still going to ask it anyway. As savvy as millennial's and beyond are supposed to be, their search and find answers skills seem to be sadly lacking. My guess - if the answer doesn't pop out in flashing lights and scroll across the bottom of the screen, they just simply do not know that the little boxes with all the writing on all the pages actually has information in them.... Nothing is moving - the screen isn't popping all over the place with other hints and ideas, there is no video. It's just dead space with letters. What are they supposed to do with that?????

Yup. I've seen a couple of new threads on this issue in the last few days. Niel caught one that I noticed.

iOS 8 is no longer available for download.

If your iPhone is an iPhone 4 it cannot update past iOS 7.1.2

If your iPhone is a 4s, then it can update directly to iOS 9.3.5

IPhone 5 or newer can use iOS 10.3.

Beyond that, using iTunes on a computer has no relation to the iOS version on your iPhone. You may need a specific iTunes version on your computer to sync with a specific version of iOS on your iPhone,

What exactly do you want to do?

I m agree with u I have also same problem I am from India and I only want to know that if ios 8 or 9 is not compatible in iphone 4 then when we download apps like Facebook from App Store they show me to upgrade your phone upto ios 8 then what we do I know I am not so much educated then peoples who are working in Apple who arrange all the things so pls help me I am also want to become an software engineer but these things discourage me pls send mail when u will find solution

You cannot upgrade an iPhone 4 to any version later than 7.1.2. Facebook has decided they do not want to support 7.1.2. You can complain to Facebook, although don't expect success that way.

Your only options are to get a newer phone (4S or later), or access Facebook using the phone's web browser.

You know, it amazes me how a thread can go for 3 years and 33 pages, when the very first post after the OP answered the question. The other 32 pages are "me too"! 😕

Or sometimes Gail and I (and a few others) playing Geography. The fact that the "me, too!" posters never seem to notice (or at least never comment on) our games or my requests for outlandish things indicates to me that in addition to not reading the thread before posting, they also don't read it after they post a request. Double the uselessness.

Actually I was replying someone who posted here. Seeing as how they post and then never return, thanks for posting back to me instead.

I wonder is it has ever been considered to lock threads that turn into drivel such as this has so they can't be posted to any more or is that too intelligent of an idea here?

huh? I'm sorry I don't understand this lingo, I have my iphone 7 plus running IOS 10.3.1 and this MacBook that I update and rarely ever use so don't have much understanding as to how to fix!? thats all but I appreciate your time and enjoy your beer

OK, so if you are asking something about a Mac, then you need to start a new thread. This one is about a wish to do something that is impossible, and 34 pages of "you can't" don't seem to resonate with anyone who posts here.

Whatever it is you are asking is not related in any way, so you need to start a thread of your own with a complete and clear question.

So, the thread boils down to this:

Level 1 User: "I want to put iOS 8 on my iPhone 4".

King_Penguin or Allan Eckart: "The iPhone 4 is not capable of being upgraded past 7.1.2"

Idris: "I want a Porche."

Gail: "I want a million dollars."

Level 1 User #2: I want to put iOS 8 on my iPhone 4"

Lather, rinse, repeat. The order of statements is actually irrelevant, apparently.

OK, you've got me cracking up here. And you have hit it on the nailhead! It will go on and on forever this way. And none of us will get any of it in the end.

Because, any other outcome, would require reading. And we know that reading is now a frowned-upon activity. More graphics and charts!

so how can I download messenger app and viber app? I have this application before...but when i unistalled this application and started to install again, I cannot install it because I need to update my iOS..

you can't download and install ios 8 or lether in iphone 4 . you need iphone 4s or newer

iphone 4 : ios 7.2.1

iphone 4s : ios 9.3

iphone 5/5s/5c : ios 10.1

iphone 6: ios 10.2

iphone 6s/6s plus/6plus : ios 10.3.1

iphone 7/7plus : ios 10.3.3

Sorry, but there was no need to post a chart in response to a post that is 40 pages long and over 2 years old - all that was covered ages ago.

Also, your chart isn't even right.

Every iPhone from 5 and up can run 10.3.2.... (and there is no 10.3.3 at all at present)
