Why aren't I getting all updates to my iPhone apple?

It would have helped if you stated more. Like what iPhone & which version of iOS it is running.
If it is a 2G or 3G then that would explain why since they could only update to 3.1.3 & 4.2.1 respectively whereas apps require 4.3 or greater to run.

  • Why won't the Apple store allow me to see my updates? I have an iPhone 3GS on iOS 6.1.2, and I'm having trouble with the app store. I can download new apps, and I can see the red number 4, letting me know that I have 4 new updates. However, the updates section stays blank and will not show me what apps need to be updated! What do I do! Is anyone else having this problem!
  • Why does my iPhone keep asking for updates? I've done the iOS6 update two different times and my phone just asked for it again yesterday. I don't understand. I have an iPhone4 btw.
  • Why didn't I get the iphone updates? How do I get them? I have an iPhone 4 for Virgin Mobile, and I never got IOS 8, and a lot of my other friends got it. And then Apple put out another update called 8.0.2 to fix the bugs from 8.0, and I didn't get them one either. I went into my 'general', then my 'software update' and it still says '1.7.2, your software is up to date'. So why did I not get either update, and how could I get the new update?
  • Why Can't I Get Updates On My IPhone Anymore? Ok So my iPhone 4 doesn't let me update any of my apps anymore. Everytime I go to the app store & go to updates something pops up & say can't connect to iTunes. & I know some of my apps need to be updated but I dnt why it won't let me update anything. It's been doing this for a while now, so please!
