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

I myself am in the same situation. Without getting a phone more updated with what Apple has been able to design and advance in with their products, we have to stick with what we are only provided.


I don't know if it would help any but think of it like this...

-They made the iPhone 4, they had great ideas and intentions for it too at the time.
-Then the 5, 6, 7 models come out afterwards and just like the 4, they each had even better features and advanced uses than their previous model. So to be able to use those new features, they have to design and perfect a software specifically for certain things that have progressed over time since the 4.


It's all a bit confusing at first, but once more research is done into the newer products and then compared to the older products, then you'll see why certain updates are only what they can be fed, to an iPhone. Literally.
