If I decide not to upgrade my Iphone to IOS8 will I eventually be forced to upgrade?

Short answer 'No'. It's a first world problem. Many older iPhones like 3gs and younger are still used all over the world in Arab and African countries where they are still high and can't be updated without jailbreaking. As long as you don't press the button then you don't have to. Apple still has plenty of apps on the store that run on iOS5 or 6 for that reason. My old one is my iPod now. It'll be another year or tow before you really have to make that decision. Don't worry about it. The guy in Vietnam with an iPhone 4 doesn't. Best luck.

No. You could run iOS 7.x however long you want but eventually you may run into a situation where an app you use requires iOS 8.

  • Would IOS 7 download itself eventually? I have an iPhone 4 with IOS 6 on it. I can't download 7 due to not enough storage. I told my cousin this and he said "it'll just download on itself". So if it does download on itself, would my memory be wiped away? I have 524 MB left of storage and to download IOS 7, one needs 2.9 GB.
  • Will the iPhone 6 eventually be able to do what the iPhone 6s does? Like will we be able to update it or something so it can do what the iPhone 6s does? Like the camera thing and the touch screen and the hey siri?
  • Will the GOLD iPhone 5S change COLOR Eventually? Would the Gold iPhone 5S change to Silver eventually? From looking at it in person it seems to appear champagne colored and silver depending on how the light hits it. I was wondering if over time would it change color? (Example: Fake gold ring would change color) I'm deciding between Gold and Silver and wouldn't wanna get Gold if it will just change to Silver eventually over using it for some time.
  • Will all iphone 4s be forced to use ios 7? I have an iphone 4s and still have the ios 6. I don't want the ios 7 because i hate it more than i hated my cadillac deville.
