Planning on upgrading to iOS 8 — or the iPhone 6, which is expected to launch next week? The following activities will make the process a lot easier, and you can start working on them ahead of Apple’s announcement on September 9. You may want to consider these steps even if you’re set on sticking with iOS 7. Last chance to update: If you are part of that last nine percent holding out on upgrading to iOS 7, you had better make up your mind if you ever want to upgrade. It is likely that the iPhone 4 will remain the only iPhone capable of upgrading to iOS 7 following the release of iOS 8, as it will be the only iOS device eligible to run iOS 7 that will not be eligible to run iOS 8. The iPhone 4S originally shipped with iOS 5 in 2011 and the iPhone 5 originally shipped with iOS 6 in 2012. So depending on when Apple decides to officially launch iOS 8, the time you have left to update to iOS 7 is quickly coming to a close.
