If I buy a new iPhone can I go back to IOS 6.0?

I would be happy to buy I new iPhone if I could get rid of IOS  7.
I upgraded mine, now mine is just trash. I don't want to buy someone elses, but I don't want IOS 7.
If I buy a brand new phone from Apple would it come with IOS 6 or 7?

That's right. The 4S is still in production. Unless you can find one that's been on the shelf for quite some time, it will come with iOS 7. The longer you wait, the less likely it becomes that you would be able to find one with iOS 6.

  • HT1689 if I buy a new iphone, can I transfer apps from my old one?

    I think I will be changing my iPhone soon. If I buy an app now, can it be copied / synced to the new phone, or do I need to purchase it again? Thanks, TT.

  • If I buy a new iPhone 5, will it come with iOS 6?

    Hi, I'm from Brazil and we don't have any Apple Stores here yet, just Premium Resellers and the Carrier Stores.
    So, in Apple's reseller in my town, there still are some iPhone 5 boxes lying between the iPhone 4S, 5c and 5s's boxes, as well some old iPhone 4 ones. Leaving aside the comments like "wow, iPhone 4 and 5 souldn't be found anymore" (I know that), do you think if I get one, it will still come with iOS 6?
    I think so, becuase officially there aren't iPhone 5 in sale anymore, so it wouldn't make sense for Apple to ship them with iOS 7, because they stopped manufactoring the 5 before the iOS 7 and the new iPhones that ship with it, as well as the 4S 8GB, were introduced.
    I'm asking this because I got a 5s and I'm deeply disapponted with iOS 7, and for me it ruins all the great features that only the 5s has to offer, and I'm willing to go back to the last iPhone that could run iOS 6.
    PS: the Home Screen printed in the iPhone 5 box is from iOS 6, and we know Apple updated the printing on the 4s to iOS 7.
    Thank you all in advance

    Does the Premium Reseller offer a return policy? If you purchased the phone in an Apple store you could return it within 14 days for a refund. If the store you're dealing with offer this you could buy the phone and go through the setup process. You'll soon learn what version of the iOS is installed.
    Given that, i would add that it is not wise to continue running iOS 6 when there are no own security flaws. iOS 7 solves those problems and adds the activation lock to prevent thieves from activating your phone should it be stolen or you lose it somehow.

  • Hi. I'm new to this and thought I already posted this question, but don't see it anywhere. My question: If I get a new iPhone, can I still use the old one like an iPod and download music and apps?

    If I buy a new iphone, can I still use the old one like an ipod with my iMac and download music, videos and apps?

    Absolutely, Yes. I'm sure that many iPhones are "recycled" that way within a family.
    The worst that will happen is that once in a while it will remind you to activate it as a phone. Just ignore the notifications.

  • Where can I buy a NEW iPhone WITHOUT a service plan?

    I have an iTouch now, I'm sell it.
    I want to have external speakers for apps and alarms.
    I do not want iTouch 2nd generation.
    I do not currently need it as a phone, but would like to have it for when I am ready.
    Is it possible to purchase the latest iPhone without any phone plan? When I go through the steps to purchase an iPhone from apple.com it doesn't have a "no plan" option.
    Do other places online / B&M sell iPhones or only apple.com and apple stores? (I do not want a used or refurbished)
    Surely I can still get a hold of an NEW iPhone without a service plan... but where and for how much?

    You can't buy a new iPhone in the US without a plan. Even if you could buy one, it would not work (even as an iPod) until activated with a cell phone provider. You would have to buy a used iPhone that had been activated. Be sure to get a US model (or one for your country if you aren't in the US). Check the part numbers in the right column of
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937>
    to make sure it is the correct version for your country.
    An officially unlocked one from one of the countries that sell them would also be OK, but any repair would have to be done in its original country. It would have to have been activated in some country, also.

  • HT6119 I buy a new iPhone s5   When I enter to iTunes Store   The iTunes Store won't connect.    I have a Apple ID     But.  I am from Algeria       Plz how can iTunes Store connect

    I buy a new iPhone s5   When I enter to iTunes Store   The iTunes Store won't connect.    I have a Apple ID     But.  I am from Algeria       Plz how can iTunes Store connect

    What have you tried to fix it ? If you haven't already done so then see if any of the following fix it :
    - log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in
    - close the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    - soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use like a ipod since i do not want to activate it yet?

    Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use it as a ipod since i do not wish to activate it yet?

    The phone needs to be activated first with a sim in it.  It doesn't need to be an active sim.  Read this
    USING AN IPHONE AS AN IPOD
    Restore your phone as new.  Place a SIM card into the phone and connect it your computer with iTunes open and follow the activation assistant to activate the iphone.  Once the iphone have been activated remove the SIM card and turn on imessage in settings/messages.  Only your Apple ID should appear in the “You can be reached by imessage at” and “Start new conversation from” fields.  Read the following article for help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406

    1. Don't do it and waste your money
    2. The US prices exclude Tax which is added at the till depending on state and can be upto 15% more than the quoted price. All EU retail prices are required to include local taxes and import duties by regulation.
    3. On return to the EU you are liable for 22% VAT on your purchase
    4. The iPhone does NOT have an international warranty.It breaks you are stuffed.
    5. The US models do NOT support all European LTE frequencies .None support the Band 7 (2600mhz) frequency being deployed by many European Mobile networks.
    6. Buy locally if you want all functionality warranty support and when taxes are included the prices are pretty much the same anyway.

  • Can I buy the new iPhone 5S in Germany and hold the warranty for in Belgium?

    I want to buy the new iPhone 5S in Germany. Is there a problem when I use the iPhone in Belgium? I heard there is always a worldwide limited warranty of 1 year. Is this correct?

    If I don't have problems, there is no problem. But if I have a problem with the iPhone, can I go to an official Apple store in Belgium so they can send it to any place for repair?
    Apple in Belgium will handle the iPhone in exactly the same way had you purchased the iPhone in Belgium
    as long as it comes from another EU country .Apple do not repair they exchange for a refurbished unit if a warranty issue or charge for an Out of Warranty exchange  unit if you have damaged or caused the issue through misuse

  • I'm an existing Verizon customer eligible to upgrade my iPhone. Can I buy the new iPhone from any retailer or must I buy through Verizon ?

    I'm eligible to upgrade my current iPhone at a discount. I do want to stay with Verizon. Can I buy the new iPhone from any retailer or must I buy it through Verizon only ?

  • Why can't I buy the new Iphone?

    Is anyone as ****** off as me that I cannot buy the new Iphone without paying $499? I purchased the first phone for $700, the second phone for $500 all on the day they came out. Now Apple will let anyone who didn't buy it before get it for $299 but I gotta pay $200 extra or wait till December. Way to **** off your core group. I plan on buying a new phone every year but if I have to wait till December I might as well wait till next June and get a phone that has 64Gigs of memory. Effectively this policy stinks and I'll spend less on apple products as a result. If anyone knows how to get a message through to the idiots who came out with this brilliant marketing strategy let me know.

    The first generation iPhone was not subsidized by AT&T in the traditional way. The 8GB first generation iPhone retailed for $599 when first released, not $699, and Apple provided everyone who paid that price a $100 credit.
    The iPhone 3G was/is subsidized by AT&T. Since the first generation iPhone was not subsidized by AT&T in the traditional way, all subscribers who purchased and activated a first generation iPhone qualified for AT&T's upgrade or fully subsidized price for the iPhone 3G when first released, or anytime thereafter. There may have been an exception such as someone purchasing another phone at AT&T's subsidized price within a month before the first generation iPhone was released and keeping the phone.
    This same applies to every carrier in regards to subsidized phones. You must fulfill your contract requirement for an existing subsidized phone before you qualify for upgrade or fully subsidized pricing with a new phone. Was the first generation iPhone your first cell phone and cellular service? If not, this should no be anything new.
    I was a Verizon subscriber for over 6 years before switching to AT&T before the iPhone was available. The entire time I was a Verizon subscriber, I didn't qualify for Verizon's upgrade or fully subsidized price with a new phone until the last 3 months of my 2 year contract for an existing subsidized phone. I got a new phone every 2 years basically, which is common. If I wanted a new phone every 12 months, I would have been required to pay the full retail sales price for the phone I wanted, or at a higher price that was not fully subsidized by Verizon.
