Hi,

I'd like to buy an iPhone 4 as an item of nostalgia, but most of them are now running iOS 7.

Is it possible today to downgrade to iOS 6, 5 or 4?

Thanks!
 
Apple is still signing iOS 6.1.3 for the iPad 2, so if you can find a copy of the ipsw, it might work for the iPhone 4 too. (Source: I saw something about it on Reddit in a thread about jailbreaking and then tried it because iOS 11 or 10 on iPad 2 is incredibly slow. It worked.)

iPad 2 was cut off at iOS 9.3.5 it never received iOS 10 or 11
