Can an iPhone 4 be updated to iOS 9? [duplicate]

I have a IPhone 4 model number A1349 an it won't update past a 7.1.2 it says my software is up to date but I know the latest software is at the least a 8.4. Why is that?

Solution 1:

The latest iOS version supported by iPhone 4 is 7.1.2. There is no official way to install iOS 8 or newer on older iDevices.

You can find a compatability list on Wikipedia.

Solution 2:

Sorry but iOS 9 isn't supported on iPhone 4.

As you can see at the bottom of this page, the oldest supported iPhone is the iPhone 4s.

iOS 8 isn't even available for iPhone 4. As you can see here.

The last supported OS is iOS 7.
