Two months after the release of iOS 7.1.1, Apple distributed a new technical update aimed at eliminating errors. You can download the update for the iOS 7.1.2 operating system right now by going to the settings of your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, or using the links at the end of the article.
iOS 7.1.2 fixes bugs in the iBeacon technology and the standard Mail application. The crux of the email problem is that iPhones and iPads with previous firmware do not encrypt email attachments. As computer security expert Andrea Curtz found out in early May, the Apple email service used on millions of Apple mobile devices stores some user data, including images and documents in clear text.
Additionally, iOS 7.1.2 fixed a security vulnerability that allows anyone to bypass the PIN screen on an iPhone and gain access to apps on the smartphone. However, the vulnerabilities used by the Pangu software to jailbreak iOS 7.1.1 and 7.1 remained in the OS, since work on the iOS 7.1.2 update was completed before the Chinese developers released their tool. iPhone and iPad users can jailbreak iOS 7.1.2 using Pangu 1.1. This information was confirmed on Twitter by hacker iH8sn0w.
iOS 7.1.2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch includes bug fixes and security updates, as well as:
- improved iBeacon connectivity and stability;
- Fixed an error in data transfer to some third-party accessories, including barcode scanners;
- Fixed a bug related to the data protection class of Mail attachments.
You can install iOS 7.1.2 firmware from the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad menu or by downloading the IPSW file from the links below and using iTunes. The update is available to users of iPhone 4 or newer phone model, iPod touch 5G, and iPad 2 or newer tablet model (including iPad mini).

Today, the field of mobile technology continues to develop at a fairly rapid pace. Progress in the production of cell phones and smartphones becomes especially noticeable if you pay attention to how quickly Yesterday's new products become obsolete, unable to withstand the competition of newly released flagships. We will talk about eliminating one of the signs of such obsolescence below.
iPhone and iOS obsolescence
In one of our previous articles: Removing slowdowns and freezes in YouTube videos- we looked at an option that allows you to play online videos in high quality on an old computer.
But if the process of obsolescence of hardware in most cases can be considered natural and necessary, then with software everything is not always so obvious.
In the issue of software obsolescence, two main directions can be distinguished:
- Lack of support and release of operating system updates by the manufacturer for old devices
- Lack of backward compatibility of new software versions with old OS
Support period
The first point is clear. The smartphone manufacturer does not want to spend effort and money on optimization of the new system for outdated hardware, even if this task is technically feasible. In addition to saving resources, this step also contributes to the rapid growth of sales of new manufactured devices (in this case we neglect the outflow of the customer base to a more loyal manufacturer), which also does not speak in favor of increasing the duration of support for its products.
Software backwards compatibility
As for the question backward compatibility, then this side may seem even more controversial. To begin with, let us give a conditional answer in the context of the current article to the question: What is backward compatibility?
Backward Compatibility- is the ability of new software versions to work with old data formats on an old operating system
Both versions of this problem are very acute for owners of previous releases of the company’s cell phones. Apple.
For example, the latter is available to owners iPhone 4S version iOS - 9.3.5
, For iPhone 4 the situation is even worse; this device can only be officially installed iOS 7.1.2. And this despite the fact that latest version of Apple operating system at the current time - 10.3.1
Consequences of software obsolescence
What does this mean?
One of the main troubles they will face users of outdated Apple devices- that, often, It is impossible to install some programs from the App Store on iOS below a certain release.
In particular, to install such a popular program for exchanging quick messages and calls via the Internet, such as Viber, from the Apple store you will need to have the installed version iOS no lower than 8.1. For applications such as Skype, network client VKontakte or mobile application Instagram, maximum old version of the phone system that meets the installation conditions for the listed software - iOS 8.0.
From all of the above, we can conclude that officially we do not have the opportunity install Viber on iPhone 4 . The same applies to the other programs mentioned: Skype, vk client for iOS, Instagram and many others. Moreover, the same fate will soon befall newer models, so this issue may in the future affect an increasing number of users of Apple products.
However, there is a way to install the same Instagram on iPhone 4. This method will work with most programs.
The essence of this method is to pre-download the application from the App Store with reference to Apple ID and subsequent installation of the supported version of the program on the phone itself.
So, we will need:
- Computer with Internet access.
- Connecting to the Internet on iPhone.
Let's get started.
Installing VK App in Apple ID via iTunes
If we try install the VKontakte program on iPhone 4, then nothing will work for us, we will get an error This content (app) requires iOS 8.0 or later with a proposal to update the device to iOS 8.0
But if we go along the path Settings - General - Software Update, we will see that we have installed " newest"Software, namely iOS 7.1.2, which is the latest for iPhone 4
This means that we will have to look for workarounds.
Download the program to your computer from the official Apple website iTunes and install it.
Let's launch iTunes and log in using the account with which your iPhone was activated.
Now in the upper left corner click on the drop-down menu and select Edit menu...
In the list that appears, check the box next to Programs and click Finish.
Next, in the drop-down list, go to the Programs section we added.
In the central part of the screen, click on the App Store tab. In the upper right corner, in the search bar, enter the name of the program we are interested in, let it be VKontakte client for iPhone. Click the button under the application icon Download, enter the password for your Apple ID and click the Buy button ( The app is free, nothing to worry about)
The application is downloaded to our account, we no longer need a computer.
Installing VK App on iPhone 4 via the App Store
We connect the phone to the Internet via a mobile network or via Wi-Fi. Let's launch App Store on the device and can immediately go to the tab Updates. Here we will have the same application that we downloaded from iTunes, that is, the client VK App. To the right of the program icon there will be a button in the form of a cloud with an arrow, which allows us to install the application from the Apple ID.
Click on the cloud
Now we will see a notification that To download the latest version of the program, an updated version of the operating system is required. But here we will be asked download the previous version of this application, which we will use by pressing the button Download
We wait for the latest compatible version to finish downloading and can launch the installed program.
It is worth mentioning that this way it will not be possible install the latest version of the program on iPhone(the solution to the issue is possible if you have a Jailbreak), that is, you will probably not have access to the full functionality of the application added in new releases, but this is most often not required for comfortable use of the main features.
Today we talked about how to install the program on an iPhone with an outdated iOS system.
Long support and constant updates to you.
iOS 7 just recently started rolling out to users' devices, and although developers had several months to spare, few had time to update their applications to comply with the new system.

Recently, prices for smartphones have increased significantly and now many people still use iPhone 4. Today we will talk about how to download any application on iOS 7.1.2.
After all, many people want to use modern programs. This is perhaps one of the most basic problems with old devices.
But don’t get upset right away, because there is one very proven method and I will be happy to share it with you and tell you what to do.
How to install applications on iPhone 4
So, well, I’ll start with the reason why today the iPhone 4 is considered so old and difficult to install any popular program.
It was back in 2010 and on June 7 this miracle was born, which now looks more like a small brick. However, at that time it was the most powerful smartphone on the market.
After its release, technology began to move forward too quickly and literally three years later, Apple discontinued it.
In the same year, a completely new iOS 7 appeared, which was enormously changed. Naturally, the requirements for it were much higher.
Unfortunately, this turned out to be the latest version of iOS that this smartphone supports. And the main problem today is that the applications we need require a minimum of iOS 8.0.
Let's look at how you can install older versions ( We do not connect the device to the PC):
- launch iTunes on your computer, if not installed, install (DOWNLOAD ITUNES);
- go to your Apple profile;
- by going to the App Store, find the desired application and install it;
- Next, pick up your iPhone 4 and launch App Store;
- go to Updates — Purchases and having found the desired program, Click Install;
- a message appears stating that you have an old OS and you can install the version for iOS 7.1.2, to which we respond YES.
That’s basically the whole procedure, which actually won’t take that much time. The most important thing is that you don’t need to do anything complicated
If you search on the Internet, you can also find an option to install Jailbreak. Then you can get the necessary software through Cydia, but then see for yourself.
A lot of people do this, but I'm not a fan of it. I just want to warn you that the protection of your personal data immediately becomes at risk.
The situation is the same if you install through third-party sites. You can download something that is not clear and then you will get a lot of problems.
CHANGES. If you downloaded the latest version of iTunes, you won't find the App Store there. The solution to this problem is described here -
