Your iPhone is getting old and the vast majority of applications available on the App Store refuse to install on the pretext that your system is not up to date? Two solutions are available to you: either you save money to buy a new smartphone or you read this tutorial. We present you today a tip to install old versions of applications compatible with the version of iOS on your iPhone..

Find a new use for your old iPhone

It's no secret that Apple products are awfully expensive. But is this defect really one? Indeed, several studies show that devices stamped with an apple break down less often than competing models. As a result, many users continue to use old iPhone daily .

Besides, what could be more normal? These phones are still relatively efficient today with their multitouch screens, their beautiful interfaces, not to mention their sublime shells mixing glass and metal..

More update for old iPhone

In recent years, new versions of the iPhone mobile operating system have followed one another at a frantic pace. Even if Apple is known to offer updates on these old smartphones, not all terminals can benefit from the latest technological refinements.

Obviously this migration is not compulsory. Nothing prevents you from using an iPhone even if its system is outdated. Except for one detail..

With each new version of iOs, hundreds of thousands of applications undergo modifications resulting, for some, in incompatibilities with certain phones. As a result, many of the apps available on the App Store refuse to install on devices that do not have a recent version of iOS .

Find applications compatible with your version of iOS

Rest assured, there is a trick to recover old versions of applications compatible with your mobile.

  • Open iTunes on your computer, taking care to turn off your iPhone or iPad
  • Make sure you are connected to the same Apple account as the one used on your mobile device
  • Click on the Store tab
  • Type the name of the application you want to install on your mobile in the search module
  • Then press the install or buy button if the app is chargeable
  • Turn on your phone now
  • Open the App Store and view the list of purchased apps
  • Click on the name of your app then on the install button

A message will tell you that your application requires a newer version of iOS to function, but that it is still possible to install a version compatible with your phone. All you have to do is click on the install button to start downloading your application.
