Miss Sophie, I am sorry to say that it is not because of lack of effort on the part of Apple why the iPhone 4 is not capably of being upgraded. The reason is the hardware inside the iPhone 4 is not able to execute anything beyond iOS 7.1.2. If you wish use SnapChat, Instagram and the other social media then you are simply going to have to upgrade to an iPhone that is capable of support it instead of your obsolete iPhone 4.

You are not addressing Apple, this is a user to user support forum. The iPhone 4 hardware is not capable of supporting an iOS later than iOS 7.1.2. The fact that application developers such as snapchat and instagram require a higher iOS to run is their issue. They are the ones that decide what versions they provide in the App Store. So, if they decide it takes a higher iOS to run their app, then you might want to complain to them. Understand the iPhone 4 was released in 2010, six years ago. In technology terms that is quite a long time. While I'm sure your device may still be functioning properly and suiting your needs, it is not capable of handling the demands of iOS or applications.

Please read this thread that you have posted on your question is answered there and I am not going to repeat it again.

If you have the iPhone 4 with the pink and yellow stripes, and unicorn emblem, you can upgrade to iOS 8, then to iOS 21 if you wish. Otherwise, you can't upgrade beyond 7.1.2
