I am not very technical but I need to help my Father in Law upgrade his iphone 4 to an iphone 6.
I have fairly recently upgraded from an iphone 5 to a 7 and it was all very straightforward as I remember - but is there anything specific that I need to consider in upgrading such an old iphone as the 4 eg does it take a different SIM card etc?
Thanks.

yes you will need a smaller sim card, as i have recently gone from a 4s to a 6s plus and these are smaller. Other than that everything else is straight forward as it was for you going from a 5 to a 7

Ah right - thanks Paul.
So my next question is . . . where do we get a smaller SIM? Is it bought separately or from the provider or somewhere else?
I don't have a mobile, but I would suggest backing up the phone to the computer.

When I went from my ipad to ipad 4 I backed it up, then atached the ipad 4 and got the option to setup as a new ipade ot from a backup - so I did the from backup option and all my apps etc. were copied to the ipad 4.

As for the sim - if you are staying with the same provider, then get in touch with them and they will sort you out and keep the same number

Thank you Tuvok - I will contact the provider in the morning.
Yes, I'm fairly confident about the upgrading process. I'll put itunes on his laptop and then i think it should all be quite straightforward.
Good to know about the need for a new SIM.
