This has worked fine for me. I cannot install the latest versions of most apps, but I could still use older versions of apps on it. To install older versions of apps, I would use my desktop computer running Windows to open iTunes and find the apps I want in the App Store.
I then added them to my list of "Purchased" apps, and then I could then login to the App Store on my iPhone and download them from there. It would then offer me a download for the latest compatible version of the app as long as it was downloaded from my "Purchased" list. This all changed recently. Every app I try to download on the App Store that isn't on my "Purchased" apps list will not offer a download for the latest compatible version of the app.
It simply gives an error as shown in attached screenshot saying I must update to a later version of iOS. In summary, iTunes removing functionality for apps seems to have left anyone owning an older iOS device without the ability to download legacy versions of any iOS apps.
The only solution that I can think of would be to login to the App Store on a newer iOS 11 device and add apps to my "Purchased" apps list, but that would likely require me buying a whole new device something I cannot afford. That's not really a real fix, as then there would be no reason for me to use my iPhone 4. Posted on Sep 20, PM. Page content loaded.
