The iPhone 4 is only compatible with iOS 7.1.2 and below. Because this version of iOS is the final version the iPhone 4 will support you will be unable to download any further iOS update releases. This will heavily impact the Apps available to you from the App store as these are also updated to meet requirements for newer versions of iOS.

Oh yeah Hi Can I ask you an iPhone 4 question about apps? Let me just continue in case someone really reads this......

Last Fall sometime I changed my Apple ID password ( not the first time ). I just discovered any apps I download with my old ID password will not show up in Apps- Updates- Purchased - Not on this iPhone or the normal list. I have been trying to find an app I know I had before but I don't see it or recognize it. No idea what the name is however I saw the goofy video ( animated Beyonce dancing with me overdubbed ) I know!!!!....anyway while watching this little video I made I can not identify the name of the app.

Given I used my old password to download this app how can I re-download it or even find it now? So how do I find my old password and also how can I re-download without altering the password I have now?


Thanks, I hope someone is actually reading this

The latest software for the iPhone 4s is iOS 9.3.5. You will not be able to update the software to anything higher.
