How to update my iPhone 3 with newer iOS?
IOS 4.3.5 to version iOS 5
There's no iPhone 3. The iPhone 3G can't be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1. The iPhone 3GS can be updated to iOS 6 by connecting it to the iTunes software on a computer. Once it is updated future updates can be done directly to the phone and will not require connecting to a computer.
The hardware may not be up to date enough to upgrade it any further. I would just get an iphone 4 free on contract, as that way you upgrade to a much better phone for free.
- What carrier would be best for any iPhone newer than the iPhone 4? I'm about to do some research but I'm hoping someone here already knows this. I want the cheapest unlimited talk, text, and data for two iPhones. Any information I failed to provide I will be glad to add.
- Is it possible to trade an IPhone 5 thats in bad condition for a newer iPhone 5? My iphone 5 works fine, but it just has some real bad scratches around the edges and back now. No screen scratches. But i want to know if Apple has any kind of deal to trade me my iPhone for a newer iPhone 5 that is new? What would be the price?
- In the middle of an iPhone update and my iTunes won't recognise my phone in order to continue to update. Can I stop the update now? Neither the computer nor iTunes are recognising my phone and I've been working on his for an hour, I want to stop the update so I can go to bed, how can I do that? It's only at the stage where it has a symbol on the screen of the iPhone cable linking to iTunes
- If I jailbreak my old iPhone 3G will that allow me to update the iOS to a newer version than it has? I have the iphone 5c but don't want to trash my old iphone because i can't get the same apps as my iphone 5. And explain a little more to me about jailbreaking?
