When will the iPhone 4s be discontinued?
When will the apple iPhone 4s stop being manufactured from stores I was thinking about getting one next month or in 2 months and no I don't want the 5s I like the design of the 4s.
I have literally never seen an iPhone discontinued except for the original ones. The only reason they discontinued those was because they were unable to handle the new updates to iOS and stuff. I have a pretty solid feeling that the 4S will be around for at least another year or 2 simply because they are still able to receive recent updates. Once the updates become too advanced for the system to handle, they will definitely be getting rid of the 4S.
Well if you buy a 4s right now, you won't have to worry about them being discontinued. Apple will stop making the 4s when the new iPhone 6 comes out this fall.
As soon as Apple shifts all its child slave labor over to the iPhone 6
Probably when the iPhone 6 comes out (late 2014?)
Though you may like the design of the 4s, it is next in line to get discontinued (likely September) & the next in line to stop receiving updates (next September), so I'd recommend looking into getting at least the 5c if you could for the sake of longevity
Its almost end of 2015 I've always been a 4s fan and jus wanted to know is it safre to buy a iphone and wanted to know will apple stop servicing iphone 4s's!
I have the 4s, and it is one of the strongest iphones in the iphone history. It's great for my running practices. I really wish they continued making it because it is way better than the ther iphones.
- Will the iphone 4 be discontinued soon? I'm willing to purchase an iphone 4, but I've called many shops and they said that they've stopped selling the iphone 4 and only had the iphone 4s and iphone 5 in store. I'm not so keen on buying the iphone 4 if its going to be discontinued in a couple of months. Is it about time that shops stopped selling the iphone 4, as it came out in 2010, and there are 2 newer phones after this?
- Will the discontinued iphone 5 be able to update ios versions? I have an iphone 5 and i'm about to upgrade depending on the answer to this question. I know that apple has discontinued the iphone 5, but does ghat mean i won't be able to upgrade to ios 7.1 or ios 8 when they come out? And if i upgrade to the 5c will that be able to ios 8?
- Will discontinued apps be avaliable on my iPhone after a software update? Hi, I'm looking to update my iPhone 4 with iOS 6.0 to iOS 7.1. I have a few apps installed from the apps store that are no longer avaliable to buy, such as the original Flappy Bird. I'm concerned that these apps will not be avaliable after I update. I plan on backing up my phone first, but will the backup save these apps from being gone forever? Is there a way to prevent these apps from being deleted other than backing up my phone? Or will these apps simply be no longer avaliable?
- Why was the iPhone 5 discontinued? I was going to go get one as an upgrade from my iPhone 4S but when I went there the only phones on display were the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s. I asked one of the workers & she told me that there are none in stock. I then asked her when they would be back in stock and she replied "Probably never because the iPhone 5 was discontinued by Apple." When I asked her why she said that she doesn't know. Why did they discontinue a great phone?
