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 find it totally unbelievable that there are over 130 posts in this thread explaining that it is impossible to update an iPhone 4 to iOS 8, and yet there are new posts asking for it every day.


What part of NO is hard to understand?

That part that means "I can't have what I want no matter how unlikely or unreasonable it is." Apparently.

Why not? You can put four megabytes of RAM in that puppy (if I recall correctly). That should be plenty!


(Such fond memories... that was my first Mac.)
