this is honestly incredible to me. When i was in middle school with my iPod 4 all i wanted to do was update to iOS 7, because i couldn't hide the fact i couldn't update to my friends. Seeing this just revives my ancient dream of getting iOS 7

Will the iPod four did have a beta for iOS 7 and it ran better than the iPhone 4 but they canceled it though it was more less the iPhone 4 experience but a little bit better I actually did not think I would ever see A video like this if someone can get their hands on the first beta for iOS 7 for the iPod 4 I think it would be really interesting but I’m really wondering if anyone has that iOS 7 beta on their iPod 4
Yea it really is lol I mean it kinda works it really just messing with the iPod it’s kinda cool to see how it reacts but yea it destroys its function I got one for 30 dollars and I did this two years ago just for the fun worth the 30 dollars very interesting how it reacted mine lasted for about a hour then died but I wish I never done it because the thing has never been the same sense but I did not wanna destroy the thing but idk I got two now one works one sorta works that’s all but FORSURE don’t do this unless u wanna iPod that really don’t work
I have one of these, a 32 GB in better condition than the one in this video. Neat proof-of-concept, but I definitely prefer to keep it on the classic iOS 6!
So uhh, my 4S is on iOS 7 (jailbroken w/ Pangu) and I was thinking of updating for app compatibility & a working VPN. A lotta stuff I do still works on iOS 7, though. If you had the option, would you stay or upgrade?
I would stay. But you should be able to just grab the shsh blobs for later anyway. But seriously, stay. You always get curious about updates, everyone does, but when you see those videos of iOS 8 and iOS 9 and how slow they are you just think "oh no it won't feel THAT bad" - trust me, it does, and as soon as you upgrade you are going to scramble back to iOS 6.1.3 just for it to be usable again. Stay on iOS 7, it's worth it, anything higher truly is unusable to the point where the lack of app support is worth it.
*+ʝαcƙ ωooժheαɗ* I'm sure you have reasons for sticking to a 4S, but honestly, I'd say just get a newer one. In case you want to get a newer one, here's what I suggest. If you can, try to find a used iPhone 5s, 6, or even an SE instead of sticking with the 4S. When I was searching, I found some used iPhone SE's on Amazon selling for about $135 dollars last I checked. Dunno if the price has gone up or down though. Basically, any 64-bit iOS device will work since 64-bit phones will be supported much longer than 32-bit devices like the 4S.
its on nyan_satan's page, she/he wrote a dual boot guide, just patch an iPhone 4 7.x ipsw with the IBEC and IBSS from an iPod 4 iOS 6.x ipsw and you're off. If you can pull the wifi and camera drivers from the iPod 4 iOS 6.x ipsw and set up vram somehow I assume this could be quite nice, well as nice as iOS 7 on an iPod 4 can be.
The 4s was one of the best iPhones ever try and debate me it just is. Lasted almost forever even though I upgraded long before it got basically destroyed by updated with lots of phones on a 8 right now. The design and size were amazing for the time and it felt like a really nice product to use.
Crane you’re right I wanted the phone so bad back when it was new and a couple years after that. It was fast, could play games great, and just looked nice, but then Apple butchered it completely with iOS 9 and is now looked down on. Hopefully this doesn’t happen with the iPhone 6S cause I feel the exact same way with it as I did with the 4S. Right now the 6S is still an amazing phone and if Apple butchers this one to, then fuck them. Seems like the 5S is going the same route as the 4S, but maybe iOS 12 will improve it.
LBP2K12 ' How does that iOS version do today with browsing the web, I think mine with iOS 4.2.1 for the most part can still access most web pages although sometimes it says that it can't establish a secure connection with the server, but that could be because it's safari web browser is outdated. I can even still watch UA-cam videos on it, not in the app, but in the browser.
I always thought if apple didn't support an device to update any further, it would be impossible to do. But now my mind is blown! At first I thought it was skinned iOS 6 or something but no! It's full working iOS 7!? Wow i wonder if it's possible to do the same for some newer devices i think you need to have the same chip like in this case iPhone 4 has A4 and runs iOS 7 while iPod touch 4 has A4 as well but only iOS 6 is the latest so they managed to port the iOS 7 to iPod touch 4. I think you can do the same for iPad 1st gen cause it has A4 as well and it runs only up to iOS 5.
Tomas Gaming the reason iOS 7 wasn’t on the iPod 4 and iPad 1 was cause they didn’t have enough ram the iPhone 4 had 512MB while the iPod and iPad had 256MB.
Tomas Gaming did you watch the video? Look how slow it is. Just cause it can run, doesn’t mean it can run good. It’s a good thing Apple didn’t put iOS 7 on it, iOS 6 already ran like shit anyways.
Skeleton 11223 the speeds are slower on 7 but on my iphone 4 ios 6 i had apps crashing but the ios 7 fixed that. I had the same problem on my ipad as well.
Skeleton 11223 yeah that's the main point of getting iOS 7 on older device, speed is not the requirement but app support is, however this method is still just for testing than using in regular basis because of kernel panic and other know issues.
now this just inspires me to get a crappy ipod and screw around with it. i have an ipod 5 but I don’t rly want to kill it considering it’s my childhood in a nutshell
I am currently watching this video on an iPod touch 4th gen, in 720p, thanks to the godly magic that is YouPlayer, and it'a unknown, definitely bizzare reasoning for still supporting iOS 6.
Sweet! Time to install iOS 10 on a 4s and try not to die!! Seriously this is super cool and I’ve always been interested in trying to make old devices work! I wonder if you could do this with a 5 or 5s
It could also be added to the list: “the most weird moments of apple” (showing an iPod touch 4th Generation running iOS 7.0.0) instead of showing it running iOS 6.1.6
iOS 7 probably officially could have been made for the ipod touch 4 but since this was a Steve Jobs era device it was rendered software obsolete quickly so people would upgrade.
actually. this is NOT the case for the device is crashing and malfunctioning, its because the device is running a software that was made officially for a different device, despite the fact of an ipod touch running a firmware of an iphone, its how the device is capable of handling an iphone on ipod touch which is why it killed it. also the software was never made from apple for that device, pretty much reasonable.
First, I wonder if the stability issues and the broken camera might partly have to do with the broken iPod. Also, wouldn't it be possible to modify 7.1.2? That was also on the iPhone 4, and fixed a lot of stability issues on that phone? Is it just harder to mod, or what?
I could've sworn I remembered seeing my grandfathers iPhone 3Gs running iOS 7 too, the iPhone is still here but battery exploded. but I swear I remembered seeing it run iOS 7
This would’ve been useful for me back in 2013 when I dreamed of having iOS 7 on my iPod 4 lol. In all honesty though, was there really a point for this...It’s 2018 and iOS 7 is far past obsolete. It’s cool though.
I tried doing something similar with an iPod Touch 4th generation and completely destroyed it. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone doing something this risky unless you just don’t care about your iPod.
Dude yesterday I was using my iPod touch 4th generation and I said what if there was an ios 7 for this sheet then boom this sheet appeared on my recommended list
Josh I rein acted the first iPhone 6 unboxing in Australia and I threw my iPod 4 around and it bounced off a lounge and flew into a brick wall which made it have a crack line on the top and then I picked it up and my little brother slapped it out of my hands onto a vacuum which had a crack like yours in the top right corner of my iPod 4 but I know it is a old device and I have a way better phone than that but I am a collector and I am going to get a screen replacement

Trans1000 same here. My iPod was jailbroken and I had an iOS 7 skin with a control centre tweak and Siri. It wasn’t bad actually.
omg i've been imagining this since like 2013 hoping someone would figure it out and here we are
and hella yes i hella want a hella tutorial
it's too late now though

because it crashes a lot and is utterly useless

DIAMLER Well if it does, 6.1.6 is always signed for it cuz that is the *official* last version
It's very unlikely that it'll come with iOS 7 as it's an unofficial build for the iPod Touch 4th Gen, but if it does, just downgrade it

iPhone X on iOS 6 would be godly
xXSneakyRazorXx it would look terrible 😂 Bc back then nothing bigger than a 4.5 inch screen existed
Zack Mell Nah apple was making iPads that could run it I think, and iPhones capped at 4 inches back in 2012
xXSneakyRazorXx also impossible

how to "destroy" your iPod 4
install iOS 7
@Amc Electronics basically
@Roloit its just... SO SLOW. Still cool but if you thought ios 7 was slow on the iphone 4, just look at it with HALF the ram.
I am pretty sure that the problems with 16GB models are that they were realesed in 2012 as a budget option compared to the touch 5
I predict that the developer will make this more and more stable. Also make WiFi work and prevent the dfu mode bug. Very cool though.
That sounds terrible but also awesome
Cool video! Both wifi and cameras can be fixed
do you have to inject the ios 6 drivers?
Can you please do an tutorial how to do it?
What about cameras? Is it using ipad 2 drivers or something?
I remember installing a tonne of iOS 7 style tweaks on mine, can't believe this
I like my ipod touch 2nd generation from 2008 with ios4.2.1. Although outdated, it still works fine today

WiFi can work if you run the drivers via terminal from iOS in every boot
