My wife has just been given an iPhone 4 from one of the colleagues at work. I've looked online and it seems there is an option to update the software to IOS 9 but this seems to have problems. Should I bother trying to update or just use the phone as is? The problem is that we can't download any apps etc.... Thanks in advance for the help!!
