Does an iphone 4 require the iOS7 update?

Struggling to get my phone to update to iOS7.06 or to determine if it needs it at all.
I've dowloaded it several times and have thought that it installed but when I go to Settings>General>About it still list 7.04 as the current version of my software.  I wanted to ask Apple for guidance but they deem that question to be a $19.95 service charge.  Can you guys help me save a Jefferson? 
Thanks

That's not what "all of us recommend". In fact, most of us highly recommend updating to iOS 7.0.6 since it fixes a critical security flaw.
These are technical support forums so what you will see are posts from people with problems. The many people who have had no problems have little reason to post here, so the posts you see are naturally going to be skewed to those for whom all has not gone smoothly. Trying to judge the quality of a product or update in these forums is like trying to judge the health of the people in your city by only looking at the emergency ward.

  • Does anyone have problems occasionally with their slide to unlock on iphone 4s with the ios7 update? And do you think there will be a bug fix? Bit worried

    Hi everyone,
    I've recently updated my iphone 4s with the ios7 update and there was a bug fix I also downloaded recently but I hadn't noticed anything wrong at the time. I know it's not happened that often today but does anyone have any problems with their 'slide to unlock' button and have to reload their iphone again? Do you think there'll be a bug fix for it? Just worried as it's not old and I have a feeling I shouldn't have bothered with the update at all.

    Why would you think it's a bug?  If it were a bug EVERYONE would be having the same issue.
    Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

  • HT4623 itunes and iphone wont find the ios7 update?

    When I click "software update" in general settings on my iphone 5, it just says "checking for updates" and just keeps doing that. I dont know if this is because many other people are trying to download it or what. Also, itunes will only find ios 6.1.4 because i havent updated since 6.0.2. Do I have to update to that before it finds ios 7?

    Yeah, that's accurate. The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download at the same time.
    Give it time, keep trying, should eventually work.

  • I am unable to turn on location services after the iOS7 update on my iPhone 5

    Relatively self explanatory. When I go into Privacy settings I am unable to turn Location Servies on. The option appears, but I cannot slide the switch to 'on'. This has only happened after the ios7 update.

    Hi dombew,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To address this issue, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Also, check to make sure Location Services has not be restricted:

    You can prevent changes to privacy settings, including:

    If you are a Windows user, try temporarily disabling your antivirus and any other anti-whatever that is required with Windows before beginning the process again.

  • Does anyone know if the ios7 update can make the wifi and Bluetooth go ghosted out?

    Does anyone know if the ios7 update can make the wifi and Bluetooth go ghosted out?

    No, any update can do this.  It has happened to a small number of iPhones after every update since iOS 1.0.1.  It almost always is due to a hardware failure.

    my question is: how can i make itues store to work? how can i go back to the previous version of ios?

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
    $19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

  • HT4623 Why do my iPhone cords for my 5 say it is not certified and may not work with this device? It's the same cord that came with my phone. The only difference is the iOS7 update.

    Here are a few things you can try:

  • I have an ipad with the ios7 update, but I forgot my restrictions passcode. And i can't restore because my "find my ipod" is on. But i also can't do anything because i don't have an icloud for this device. What can i do?!!

    I have an ipad with the ios7 update, but I forgot my restrictions passcode.And when I go and click restore I can't restore because the "findmyiphone" is on and I can't do anything about it since i can't get in my ipad. I can't do anything on icloud.com either because I did not put my device on there. What can I do??

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
