Iphone 4 HELP
I have an iphone 4 that I am trying to run apps on, but I don't have ios 8. Sadly all the apps run on ios 8 or higher. Does anyone know a way around this or did I basically just waste money by buying this phone ?
What did you figure out? I just got a Iphone 4s, and am finding the same issue with everything want OS 8, and this phone runs on 7.1.2 . I have watched a bunch of youtube videos, on how to get OS 8 on your phone, but I don't want to jailbreak it, and all the methods seem complicated. Any pointers on this would be appreciated. Thank you.
I am adding, that after reading Joes recommended device list again, I see he has his Iphone 4S on OS 9. Can anyone help me understand how to do that? I have looking on youtube, but find the videos unclear. Will I need to jailbreak this device to do this? I don't want to as it is a loaner from a friend. If I needed to, and did jailbreak this device, would I be able to return it to its UNjailbroken state later, to return it to the friend? Thanks again if anyone can offer any tips.
Thanks to Joe ! I discovered the issue is that, my friends phone isn't really an Iphone 4S, but just a 4. I found a helpful video on youtube to help me find the differences, namely the model # on the back. If anyone else has issues with Iphone 4's I suggest figuring this out for sure. A Iphone 4 can only be upgraded to OS 7.1.2 While a Iphone 4S can go up to OS 9. This makes the plain 4 not too much use, as all the apps I tried need at least OS 8 to be installed. Thanks for the help Joe !
