Will iPhone 5 come with old software prior to 7.1 update

I have the ability with AppleCare to replace iphone5 with bad battery...anyone know if the new iPhone already come with iOS 7 pre loaded or will I have to load it myself?

Okay, thanks that's a help, I was thinking maybe I should wait a month or so , so that I could get the recent software already installed.... Sounds like it may not make any difference.... Just get it and install the update, although I heard it drains the battery badly too... Trying to get the best  opportunity to replace it, and I still have 6 months on the warranty..
Any advice?

  • Will a new iPhone 4 come with new software installed?

    I just ordered a new iPhone 4. Not a 4S. Will it come with updated software? Or will I have to update it myself?

    Yes... it will come with either 5.01 or 5.1 installed... most likely 5.1 as it's been out for several weeks.
    Apple does not have huge warehouses of merchandise just sitting around, it's likely the new iPhone 4 you just purchased came off of a cargo ship or out of a cargo plane within the last month directly from the factory.

  • Curious about the iOS 5 software that is coming out.  If I wait til its release to buy my iPhone 4 will it come with the iOS5 software already on it?  or should I go ahead and buy my iPhone 4 and then update the software when the iOS5 is released?

    Yea I would have to say wait until the release of IOS 5, because the phone will probably run it a lot smoother. I mean go ahead and buy the Iphone 4 if you are dying to have it, because you can just update it which is no big deal at all, but it would be the smarter thing to wait for the new updates.
    And the networ issue as far as I am aware is fixed on the Verizon iPhones, so it really depends on which service you have.
    - correct me if i am wrong
    Have to disagree here, Apple have not even announced an iphone 5, it is pointless to speculate that we will see one or not see one until Apple actually releases a statement. ios was built and tested on the iphone 4 so there will not be any slowdown or laggyness compared to a phone that has not been released yet.
    If we are advising potential apple product buyers then we should not be putting them off buying a iphone 4 on speculations alone. Just because apple have for the last few years released an iphone every june/july does not mean then have to stick to this approach.
    Apple have not issued any statement regarding an iphone 5, until this time it does not exist, only in heresay on the internet.
    Any one looking to get an iphone 4, to you i would say waiting until ios 5 is released is a personal choice, no matter if you wait or not you will be able to update via itunes. One way or another in the future you will have to do an ios update via itunes whether this is the 5.0 software or 5,2,1.
    Please note that Apple are very closed mouthed about new hardware releases and potentially a new iphone could be round the corner, however there is no evidence to suggerst this, i.e Apple have not even mentioned an iphone 5 this year anything you hear towards the contrary is media spin thus far and speculation.
    ios 5 was built and tested to work seamlessly on iphone 4, the beta software released to developers is being tested on iphone 4. Please do not listen to people telling you that the iphone 4 will not run this ios as well as a phone that does not exist yet. When iphone 5 launches it will most likely have dual processors and not until its launch will the next gen apps start appearing.

  • 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.

  • If I buy an iphone 4 or 4s will it come with Ios 6 or ios 7?if it's ios 6 where can I buy it?

    It depends on where you buy the iPhone. If you buy a new iPhone from Apple or an authorized iPhone reseller, the iPhone will probably come with iOS 7 unless the reseller has old stock, which could be the case for an iPhone 4 since Apple discontinued that model quite a while ago.
    If you're buying from some other source, there's no way to know what version if iOS the phone will have.

    Hey erinoneill24,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.

    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    Have a nice day,

  • I have just pre ordered the new iphone 5 it didn't give me an option to tell them what carrier im with? will it come with a nano sim?

    I pre ordered an iphone 5 this morning, (first time i have ordered from apple) it didn't give me an option to select a carrier? is this normal? will it come with a nano sim if it didn't let me tell them what carrier im with? i dont want to get my new phone and not be able to use it

    iPhone 5 confirmed to use nano-SIM, current SIMs not compatible.
    The "Micro SIM" is too large to fit in the iPhone 5.

  • If i unplug my iphone while its "updating software" will it restore the old software? or is this a bad idea?

    if i unplug my iphone while its "updating software" will it restore the old software? or is this a bad idea?

    It's a bad idea. It *ought* to recover OK, but there are too many cases where it hasn't to be safe assuming that it will.
    If, as Changren Yong says, you have a good backup, you always have the safety net of a restore, but it's a silly thing to do,
    My advice when doing software updates is to download separately then update (you're always offered an option to download only). You can do what you like during the download, which is always the ling part of the process for me. The update usually (for me) only takes about 5 minutes.
    One further point - in case you didn't know, you can initiate a backup by right-clicking the phone in iTunes and choosing Backup from the drop-down. That should always be part of your update process

  • If I buy an Iphone 5 what version of OS6 will it come with.

    If I buy an Iphone 5 what version of OS6 will it come with. Thanks for any replies.

    You can not "tweak it" at all beyond the built in settings and apps that can be downloaded from the app store.

    Sorry, didnt clarify, Verizon's site said it is included but Apple's (where I preordered) did not mention it.

  • How to delete messages on the Iphone 4s with operating software 8.1

    I can't figure out how to delete individual messages in a conversation on the Iphone 4s with operating software 8.1, it only seems to allow to delete the whole conversation. Any ideas?

    Hey AndreaKarima,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to delete a specific message (as opposed to an entire conversation):

  • I am going to japan with an Ipod nano and Iphone 4. Do I need a converter? or does the one the iphone comes with that plugs into the wall enough?

    I am going to japan with an Ipod nano and Iphone 4. Do I need a converter? or does the one the iphone comes with that plugs into the wall enough? I know i wont need an adapter because it will fit into the wall outlet, but voltage wise, will i need a converter? Japan runs on 100 V. I am so confused on all of this...

    As long as the adapter is 2 pronged, then you should be able to use it without any problems.

  • Iphone linked with old owner's account. Don't have access to old owner. Please help.

    IPhone linked with old owner's account. Don't have access to old owner. Please help.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.
