    If this is an iPhone 4S, if you have updated beyond iOS 8, it's not possible to revert to a prior IOS version.

    An iPhone 4 can be upgraded to iOS 7.1.2

    An iPhone 4S can be upgraded to iOS 9.3.4. There is no way to update to iOS 8.

    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

    If you’re actually using an iPhone 4S, click here and follow the instructions.

    If you’re using an iPhone 4, you can’t.
