Here's a simple and fast way to see what is possible with your device:


On your device tap:

Settings > General > Software Update.


1. If it says your device is up to date there is nothing more you can do. If apps you are trying to use say you need a higher iOS version, you will need to buy a newer device if you want to run those apps or features.


2. If it says an update is available you will only be given one update selection which will be the highest available iOS version supported by your device. Click on a link below for full instructions about how to update with wi-fi, or using a computer if you have storage or connectivity issues. If the update listed is not equal to or higher than the iOS version you need to use a feature, you again will need to buy newer equipment if you want to use that feature.

You will likely now get posts telling you about the problems with using old equipment and all the limitations you will experience and how Apple no longer supports it, etc, etc. but you asked about updating so you have the information you requested.
