Your iPhone is too old and would not be compatible with the newer software updates.


Click ▶︎ iPhone compatibility with iOS 13 for the complete list.


The time has come:


Shop one-on-one with a Specialist at an Apple Store.


Click ▶︎ Reserve a Shopping Session. 🛒

Hello~ Your iPhone cannot be updated beyond iOS 12. If you want to run a higher version of iOS you need a newer iPhone. If you choose a second hand device please take a moment to read these helpful link to make an informed decision…
