No, you cannot because the maximum firmware you can get on an iPhone 4 is iOS 7.1.2. iPhone 4 only has the A4 chip, which only supports up to iOS 7.1.2. If you want the later firmware, you need to update to the iPhone 6S or SE, which is 1 1/2 and 2 years old, and it still supports iOS 11.

The iPhone 4 is over 8 years old. The hardware in it is incapable of running the new software. Plus the developers has have stopped supporting such old hardware.Hence the reason you are not able download any applications for it. If you need to run the new software you will need to get new hardware that can run it.


If you think the Android is better then that is what you should buy.


Personally I don't think it is. I see from those with Androids that there are far more problems with it then a new iPhone.
