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

That's right. Because you have an old phone. You would have to get an updated one to run the most current version of software, or make do with what you have.

No

Time for a newer phone

Replace your obsolete iPhone 4 with a new one.

It took me a minute....but excellent answer. 😉

Still no.....

You can purchase a new phone that is capable of running iOS 8.

Please read the 54 pages in this thread that explain why you can't.

You may be able to get compatible versions of Apps. In iTunes on your computer, download the App you want a compatible version for using the same Apple Id that the iPhone has for the App Store. For Paid Apps its best to consult with the App maker to make sure there is a compatible App. With the App Downloaded to iTunes on a computer you can go into The App Store App on your iPad, Tap on Purchased, and Look for the App there. Tap on it to begin the download. It will likely say its not compatible, but if there is a compatible version it will offer to download it.

Install an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support

Note that this option will likely stop working in the near future.

A million doesn't go as far as it used to. It isn't enough for even a modest apartment in NYC, for example. You need to raise your expectations by 2 orders of magnitude.

But you could still throw a great party.

How can I update my iOS on my iPhone 4 whith 7.1.2

First, you get a banana, a mango and a hedgehog. Put them in a cardboard box in a very dark place with a temperature no higher than 288.706 degrees Kelvin. Leave them there until the next full moon. Clean up the mess left by the rotting fruit and the hedgehog chewing its way out of the box. Go look for the hedgehog. When you're done, go to your local Apple Store and buy a new iPhone that supports a more recent version of iOS.

So much for that newer, kinder Idris. 😝

I only said "lower snark". I never promised "snark free". That would be unsustainable. 😉

And, I doubt anyone but the regulars actually read anything I post here.

Substitute Asimina triloba for the mango, that will leave more time to get to Apple, and the smell of one decomposing will make the trip essential.

Asimina triloba, commonly known as Paw Paw.

Is that anything like a durian?
