What does ios 6 do to the iphone 4

I read the new features and it mostly said "supported the the iPhone 5, iPhone 4s, iPad (3rd) , and iPod touch (5th)"...
SO will the iPhone 4 have Siri?!

It will not have Siri.
Here is the list with in the bottom the specification of which device is compatible with which feature.

How does iOS 7 run on the iPhone 4S?

Hi,
I have an iPhone 4S (64GB) running 5.1.1 and would like to know how iOS 7 actually runs on the 4S. I have read so many conflicting reports about iOS 7 on the 4S that I do not know who to believe anymore. I never updated to iOS 6 because of the much published “WiFi greyed out” issue that haunts the 4S. From what I read, this is ongoing with iOS 7 with no fix in sight as it's hardware issue as a result of shoddy build quality.
My only previous update experience (from one version of iOS to another) is with a 3rd generation iPod Touch which after the update to iOS4 (which broke the video app) and then iOS5 (which at least fixed the video app) is only good for playing music. It so laggy that doing anything else with it is basically impossible.
The iPhone 4S was designed for iOS 5 and not iOS 7. Is the iPhone 4S’s processor up to the task of running iOS 7 without any glitches and lagging? I'd rather stay on 5.1.1 than having my user experience tanked by a phone that it not quite capable of running the new version of iOS problem free. I am not one of those people that MUST have the latest version of iOS not matter what. My phone working reliably (and having WiFi & Bluetooth connectivity) is much more important than a flashy (some would say ugly) new iOS. The only reason I am considering upgrading is for the new call/sms blocking feature. I know Apple says that they are compatible, but they also said that iOS4 & iOS5 will run on a 3rd generation iPod Touch and it just does not....
Any comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tyler
is the other 4S user frequently cleaning the tasks that run in the background?
- if not: double push the home button and swipe away the unused 'running"-Apps.
(this is also new: it used to be push and hold - then press the X. Now simply swipe them away)
I also have an iPad 1st Gen with iOS5 and find it very helpful to restart it once in a while. This also helps to increase the performance and reduces crashes.
Ok, I have to admit that my 4S also froze in the past, but maximum once in a month or two. Usually this happened when I tried to do to many things at the same time.
However what I experienced, that the camera App crashed more often when trying to shoot multiple HDR pictures. I believe it is due to the computing, which has to be done by the phone, since HDR means, shooting 3 Pictures and merging them.
My Battery is, as the phone 2 years old and last about a day in business use. I turn off wifi and BT when I don't need it, further reduce the display brightness. This increased my battery life significantly.
Observation with WhatsApp: sometimes I need to close and reboot it (in the task manager), but I related this issue rather to the App than the iOS.
Good luck

What does "iTunes could not backup the iPhone, because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone" mean? Why won't itunes let me backup my phone?

I have an iPhone 6, I backed it up when I got it, but it's been a while since i'v backed it up. The iTunes pop up also says "Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again." I've tried restarting my phone, deleting some pictures, and deleting other things to get some space. The phone is iOS 8.0.2

Hello jsachi,
The article linked below details a number of troubleshooting steps that can help get a backup created in iTunes.

You need to code your web site to recognize the mobile browser and send a page that's actually usable when it does.

After updating my iphone 6 to ios 8.0.2, the iphone is not working at all!!

after updating my iphone 6 to ios 8.0.2, the iphone is not working at all!! the apple logo shows up for a few seconds. then the screen goes red !! after it restarts and it do the same!! please help.

Well, just for future reference, any time you do an iOS upgrade, it is a good idea to back up your device just prior to doing the download. You can back it up to iCloud or to iTunes. Personally, I prefer to back it up to iTunes, and then to do the download via iTunes as well. Doing a Wifi download can, by the very nature of the OTA environment, run into more issues than a hard-wired one via iTunes.
If it is just a version release (like 8.0.1, or 8.0.2), then I might download it via Wifi, since the content is not likely to be very large. But for any major new release (7 to 8, etc.) it is always a good idea to do it via the USB cable rather than OTA.
I would also suggest that you set up your device to do automatic iCloud backups. Whenever it is turned on (i.e., not manually powered off - it can be "asleep"), plugged into a power source, and connected to Wifi, it will do an automatic backup every 24 hours. Mine usually backs up at night.
But even with my iCloud backup in reserve, I still did an iTunes backup before I upgraded to iOS 8. I like having the extra security of that second backup to choose from, should I need it. Here is a support article comparing the two types of backup:

Sorry you lost your stuff. Hope then next update goes better for you!
Best of luck,

How long does it take to update the iPhone 4?

How long does it take to update the iPhone 4?

Interesting question, beachn! If I understand correctly, you're trying to see how long it will take to update the software/operating system of an iPhone 4. If that's the case, the during of a software update will depend greatly on the speed of your computer and/or your phone. I've seen the process vary from 4 minutes to an hour. If I did not understand correctly, please describe what you mean by update. Thanks!

What does a '0' mean on the home screen where the 3G icon usually is?

What does a '0' mean on the home screen where the 3G icon usually is?

That's the icon for GPRS, no EDGE. You have three available data-modes on all 3G-enabled iPhones (3G, 3Gs and 4): The little circle or o for GPRS, the E for Edge and the 3G for UMTS. No icon at all means no data-transfer (no MMS, no Visual Voicemail, no Internet and so on).

Every iOS device has a dedicated AES 256-bit crypto engine built in that is used to encrypt all data on the device at all times. In addition, the iOS Cryptographic Modules have been granted FIPS 140-2 compliance by the U.S. federal government on devices running iOS 6.
