I have an iPhone 4, do I have to upgrade to ios7

I'd rather not because it looks like it will take up all my storage.  Also, just plugged it into my new Dell Inspiron17 and it did not automatically synce my photos or songs.

To answer your question...no, you don't have to upgrade to iOS 7.
FWIW we have several iPhones and one is an iPhone 4.  I upgraded it a few days after iOS 7 was released and it's working fine.
It doesn't appear that iOS 7 uses a great deal more disk space than iOS 6, but if you're bumping up against your maximum storage you may want to consider removing some support content for your apps or some apps or music, movies, etc.  That may give you enough room if you do decide to upgrade to iOS 7.  Once upgraded there may be enough space to re-add the content you deleated earlier.

    I went to Settings > iCloud > Documents and Data, then turned off  documents and data, and now it is back to normal.  Apparently you cannot take advantage of both on the iphone 4 and 4s.

    Close inactive apps
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
    3. The app will fly off the screen

    I have just upgraded my ipad to ios7 and entered a passcode.  When I switched on again I must have mistaken the numbers I used and my ipad is now disabled.  What can I do?

    You'll have to restore it to remove the passcode.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • Iphone 4s doesn't charge after upgrade to ios7

    My iphone 4s stopped charing after upgrade to ios7. I thought this was caused by dirty charging port ,, but it isn't.
    I connect to my wall charger and it starts charging, but after a couple minutes it stops. The same issue when connected to my work PC. It only charges when connected to my mac !
    I tried several home chargers and the problem remains the same.
    I have this issue on both our household iphone 4s's ,!
    Help this is terrible and my battery survives half a day now !

    Same issue...ios7 upgrade...battery wouldn't hold charge...now it is dead...phone will not turn on or reset...
    When plugged into a Mac for 2 hours, with the original USB cord, screen is blank...when pressing the sleep button, I get a picture of a battery with a tiny sliver of red...but not able to turn on.

  • HT1476 My iPhone 4 becomes very slow after upgrading to IOS7

    My iPhonel 4 becomes very slow after upgrading to IOS7
    i did every tricks might help like disabling Background Apps and turning of Documents and Data syncing in iCloud also Increase Contrast and restoring it to factory default....
    it's still very slow in any action needed also there is a lot of bugs when using it like canceling the call but it's not apprearing in the lock screen or it appears but when sliding it it's opening another notification... touch is very laggy ..
    Apple Please we need help

    I have the same problem...sometimes it even freezes...I have to close some of the applications from background to resolve the freezing and improve speed....but it never regains the speed it had before the update.
    I am also interested in going to the older version if I could.

  • IPhone 4S took a dumb after upgrading to IOS7/ WIFI is greyed out

    I loved the fact that I own Apple IPhone4S . For the past 1 1/2 year I had no problem with this phone
    I went to restore thinking that I will restore my phone to original to try to sell it and get the new IPone 5 .
    Well the restore took me from IOS6.13 to have the IOS7 which then I tried to see that all my info was deleted which it was but then I found the Wifi and Bluetooth is not working.
    I tried the reset the network and it didn't work, then I start doing my search to find out it's issue with heating my wifi with the new update which some one said to put it in freezer for 15 minutes which I did that and sure enough it worked for few minutes untill the phone got heated again.
    I even tried to restore it from Itune thinking some how the software is corrupted and that didn't help.
    Like I said before I love my Iphone and I'm hoping soon that Apple support will come up with solution soon and to tell us that 1 yes one HERO came up with solution and you need to upgrade your software that will solve this problem.

    I guess I don't have to wait
    I got it fixed
    someone delete this post please

  • My iphone 4 will not sync after upgrading to ios7

    After upgrading my iphone 4 to ios7, I cannot sync with itunes. It either goes through 4 steps and then "canceling sync" or it hangs up on "waiting for files to transfer" and never gets past that.  I tried some suggestions in other support articles. I synced with itunes in safe mode. I reset the phone and did a restore. Nothing seems to help. I upgraded to 7.0.2 but no changes. Please Help!

    No offence, but as with quite a few others, my Iphone stopped charging on mains after iOS 7.0.4 update too.
    Not sure you can categorically advise that "it simply is not a software issue" when so many different people are having the same symptoms after updating their iOS   Just have a quick Google!
    Luckily my (original Apple) cable will still allow recharging via USB to a laptop. So, process of elimination would point to a bricked charger that was working faultlessly up until the iOS 7.0.4 update was applied. Seems quite a stretch to be a coincidence.
    Look forward to an explanation ..... and an update? ......

  • Hi..Guys does the Factory Unlocked iphone can be lock again if upgrade to IOS7

    Apple owns the factory.  If it wasn't unlocked by Apple (this is only done prior to shipping), then it is NOT factory unlocked.

  • Since upgrading to ios7, apps just say waiting and then get the app cannot be downloaded at this time message. We run a proxy server, devices running ios6 have no problems. Anyone know what the problem is? I think apple just needs to fix its new OS.

    I work at a school running 10 iPads. We connect to the internet through a proxy server. Prior to iOS7 we had no issues, the devices still on iOS6 work perfectly.
    All devices which have been upgraded to iOS7 cannot download apps. I can find the apps in the store, choose to download them, but the icon hangs for a while before returning the "app cannot be downloaded at this time message". Help.

    I have this same exact issue. We have even put all apple servers as not even being filtered by proxy and it still wont download anything. Nor will it let us even log in or create a new acct in the app store. It seems its also not just app store related....as it won't even let you check for IOS updates when a proxy is entered.
    If anyone has any ideas let us know!
