Seriously? You read nothing from the thread you posted in?


You cannot update an iPhone 4 beyond iOS 7.1.2


You cannot update to iOS 8

You cannot update to iOS 9

You cannot update to iOS 10

You cannot update to iOS 11


You cannot update to any iOS version after 7.1.2



Hopefully, that should clear up some things

Hi mohdrabbani


I'm sorry to let you know iPhones 4 are not eligible to upgrade to iOS 8.

Here is the list of devices that are supported by the new iOS:


iPhone 4S

iPhone 5

iPhone 5S

iPhone 5C

iPhone 6

iPhone 6 Plus


iPad 2

iPad 3

iPad 4

iPad Air

iPad Mini

iPad Mini 2


iPod Touch 5G


So it will be impossible for you to, legally and without losing Apple Support and Warranty, update to iOS 8 due to hardware limitations.


Best Regards

Phill
