Issues - iPhone 4

Former Member over 10 years ago

Hey everybody,
I have an issue according connection to my iPhone 4 Garmin app. The Garmin app says it is not compatible to the device. My wish is to have it on the iPhone 4 :D I hope the iPhone isn't to old already - if it is, is it then possible to download an other app which can make the connection possible?
I hope you are able to help me.

I've just discovered the same thing. Garmin Connect for Mobile 2.9 requires iOS8 and there's no method of installing an older version on an older phone!

:( That is not good enough from Garmin's side. There are still a lot of Garmin users whose have iPhone 4's. I hope and suggest that they make it happen, so also we can use our watches fully. I just brought it last thursday - and this is a disappointment! :(

The iPhone 4 is nearly 4.5 years old and only supports Bluetooth 2.1, while the iPhone 4s and up support modern / low powered Bluetooth implementations. Having upgraded from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 6 - partly because the old phone refused to talk to my Garmin devices, I can say that it's worth upgrading for the extra speed alone.

While there may well be a number of iPhone 4 users, you are definitely in the minority. The technology in the iPhone 4 is not up to spec. Supporting the iPhone 4 won't happen. Period. You can get a 4S quite cheaply if you don't want to buy a newer model.

Even so, I wouldn't want to install iOS8 on a 4S!
