I think they want you to upgrade to the new Iphone  or get the Iphone c or s
Well of course they would, but that's not why iPhone 4 can't have iOS8.  It is simply the fact iPhone 4 can't support the features of iOS8.  Le'ts be realistic in recognizing iPhone 4 is now over 4 years old.  In cell phone land, that is ancient........

  • Why is the iOS 5 not available for the iPhone 3G??

    So disappointed that the iPhone 3G can't update to the new iOS 5!!!!!!!  Does anybody know why??? Is there any solution?
    Now I can't syncronize my data like I used to do it with mobile me!!!
    SO DISAPPOINTED Apple!!!
    You SHOULD make it available to all iPhone users, not just the new ones!

    Yes, Mobile me is available until january, but since I downloaded Lion I thought the best option was to switch to iCloud, so my Mobile me isn't available anymore... I can still sync my data manually!
    After that was when I tryed to update my iPhone and got the surprise that it's not compatible with the iOS5!
    I guess it's time to get a new phone... haha
    This is my first big disappointment with Apple... sad
    Thanks everbody !

  • Why is Ovi Maps 3 not available for the E63

    Hi!
    Why is Ovi Maps 3 not available for the E63 an 410.21... for the old OS 400....
    was OVI Maps available.
    I got an license for ovi and now it is not running ;-(
    Have any one an idea... thanks

    Currently there is something very seriously broken in the latest firmwares, Maps 3.0x SIS files or Nokia Maps Updater. Until Nokia gets their problems sorted out, the only way to restore Maps 3.x after factory reset or firmware update is to use a version meant for previous generation devices, like this one (thanks to the user ovikovi).

  • Why is the gift package not available for the Apple Wireless Keyboard?

    It's available for the Apple Magic Mouse. Is it the size of the box? Or perhaps the shape of it?

    That is the way Apple decided to market the device.

  • Why is the new update not available for iPhone 3g?

    Is it going to become available?

    no never
    same deal with my ipod touch 1g
    it's at the end of the line
    but the fact that they will never get updates again does
    not change the function they provide right now

    even many iphone 3gs people are complain that ios5 is running slowly and wish to downgrade

  • Why is the software update not available in the App Store?

    I've been trying for over an hour to update to the 4.3 software and it keeps timing out.  I've disabled my AV software and I tried connecting directly to my LAN.  Nothing is working and I'm ready to throw this POS in the garbage.  This is the only issue I have with the phone, but it's really irritating. It must be fixed.

  • 4.3.3 update not available for the 3G?

    I understand that the 3G is no longer being supported, and I'm OK with that, unless a new update includes bug fixes. Is there any plans to release the 4.3.3 update for the 3G?

    Impossible to answer your question, only Apple knows.

  • Why does the iOS update not extend to the iPhone 3G ? I would like to use iCloud on all my devices but can't on my iPhone.

    I have updated my lap top and my iPad to iOS but my iPhone won't update. I find this really frustrating.

    Sometimes that is a business decision, sometimes technology driven.  Operating systems and software get to a point where hardware is not capbable of using the software effectively so it is not supported.  This has happened a few times in the life of various Mac OS versions.
    It's frustrating but not much we individual users can really do about it.

  • Why Lumia710 is "update not available" for "Taiwan...

    I bought Lumia710 in Taiwan, I think Nokia also sold many 710 for Taiwan people.
    But why Lumia710 is update not available for Taiwan users ?
    We also need new features and further enhancements to the Nokia Lumia710 in Taiwan.
    We waiting for
    Latest Windows Phone operating system (Note. This is not WP 7.8 yet.)
    Internet sharing (Wi-Fi Hotspot) — Share your phone's internet connection over Wi-Fi with up to five other devices or computers.
    Flip to silence — Silence incoming calls by turning your phone face down.
    Fix to prevent the volume of the ringtone temporarily increasing (Lumia 800 specific)
    Download new apps from Marketplace, such as camera extras, including smart group shot and self-timer, Contacts share, and Play To, a DLNA app for showing your content wirelessly.
    Usability and performance improvements.
    Additionally Camera Extras (incl. smart group shots, panorama, action shots, etc.) will be available from the Marketplace plus other new imaging apps (like Citylens).
    But just only Taiwan's Lumia710 users got update not available in Asia pacific.
    It is mean : Latest version of software update will not be launched for this product code and/or country.
    So anybody can answer me ? Tell me why ? Why without Taiwan users ?
    Best Regards,
    Kevin

    Dear Kevinluh, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
    I understand your frustration, however update availability can vary depending on Region and carrier, this is because some regions and carriers may not have signed off the update or have policies preventing the update occuring.
    We hope you understand, please get in touch with your local Nokia Care line for more information regarding the update.
    Regards
    Sheldrick

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Will the security update be available for IOS 6?

    Will the security update be available for IOS 6?

    Not so - Apple says they have release iOS 6.1.6 to address the security problem. However no one seems to know how to get it since every request for an update only offers iOS 7. Very strange...
    Nothing strange about it.  iOS update only allows the installation of the latest release based on the hardware it detects you are using.  The 6.1.6 update is only available to those devices that CANNOT run iOS 7, like the iPhone 3Gs.  For any device capable of running iOS 7, the iOS update system will ONLY offer the option of updating to iOS 7.0.6, regardless of whether the device is still running iOS 6 at the time you try to update it.
    That is how the iOS update system has always worked - you simply cannot update to a lesser iOS release then the most recent for your particular hardware.
