Yes, the iPhone 3GS can be updated to the current software iOS 6.1.4.
UPDATE - It might be 6.1.3 ... I don't remember. But anyway, you either update all the way or not at all.

iPhone 4s just updated with IOS 8. Now my calendar does not offer the full list of items by day on the screen. Instead I see the month and below the month are the appointments in a list for the selected day only. I would like the option to have the full list available as it is much easier to scroll thru the list when making appointments.
Hello memormor,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To see the full scrollable list of events, start from the day view (tap on a day), not the month view, then click .
Calendar at a glance - iPhone
View a list of events. In month view, tap to see a day’s events. In day view, tap .
Take care,

I have an iPhone 3GS and have updated to IOS 6.1. Before with emails there was a user bar at the bottom which allowed you to move emails to folders, print etc, but it now seems to be removed. Can you help ?
Close out of the mail app, double click the home button and completely close out of the mail app.
Then do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.
then check your mail again. -

I have an old iPhone 3 gs. with ios 3.1.3. how can i update it to at least an ios 5 because it will not let me get games on the app store because the ios is so low.
Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for an iPhone 3GS.

HT5457 I update my iPhone with iOS 6 softwar it,s ok but now i have activation problem.
I update my iPhone 3Gs with iOS 6 software it<s ok but now i have activation problem?
How did you get the unlock for your 3GS? If you recently updated to
iOS 6 and your SIM stopped working after the update, the most
likely reason is that your iPhone had been hacked/jailbroken/modified
to work with your Carrier and the update relocked the iPhone to the
original Carrier.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
If it does not name your current cellular provider, then the scenario
is as I laid out above. In this situation, Google may help as you can
get no assistance here for jailbroken iPhones.
If that is not the problem, give some more details and someone will

Why iphone 3gs has no update for IOS 7

The thing is now 3GS is left out when the next version say its iPhone 6 , 6S, 6C ..., then iPhone 4 will face the same sitution which 3GS are facing now and it goes on . Phones are not just for 2yrs 3 yrs if that is the case i would have got Samsung , Sony etc . Why do i prefer Iphone ?
Samsung, Sony and every other company are constantly coming out with new models and dropping older models. Many older Android phones also cannot be updated to newer OS versions, as their manufacturers don't release firmware updates for them. Apple is not unique in that aspect of the business - they are all competing with eachother.
Despite many people's wishes that companies were ultra-altruistic, they are not (and largely because their share holders do not want them to be). They make products to sell them and make profits, and whatever is necessary to do that in an ultra-competitive market is what will be done. The pace of change is not going to slow down, if anything, it is just going to continue to ramp up. And millions of happy share holders, and tens of millions of iPhone customers are constantly demanding more new things, not stable older things.
That said, the iPhone 5c and Apple's move into the trade in program, are attempts to offer better options to people on a tighter budget than others.
But, as with any personal item, you buy what you can afford. Nobody is entitled to the best and the greatest just because others have it. -
