Q&A: If I buy a refurbished iPhone 4 from Apple will it come with iOS 7 installed?

ios-7-1Question from Belinda D.:  I’m thinking about buying a refurbished iPhone 4 directly from Apple. If I do, will it have iOS 7 on it or will I have to upgrade it to iOS 7 after I buy it?

If I have to upgrade it myself I might just go with a new iPhone 5c. I’m really not very tech savvy lol. Thanks in advance for the info. I LOVE your site by the way!!

Rick’s answer:  Thanks for the kind words about the blog Belinda. I appreciate it very much!

To answer your question, Apple ships all refurbished products with the original software installed. I found this line in the Refurb FAQs:

“…includes the operating software originally shipped with the unit and the custom software offered with that system.”

That means you’ll be responsible for upgrading your refurbished iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1 on your own. That really shouldn’t be a problem however because the upgrade process is both free and very easy to complete.

I hope this helps. Good luck!
