How can you upgrade your iPhone 3G?
I have a feeling this is a troll question but I will do my best to answe it anyway. I know the question says “upgrade”, but I will answe as if it says “update”, since “upgrading” a cellphone is not really possible from the consumer aspect.The 3G is nearly 10 years old, and was discontinued 7 years ago. The last official version of iOS that the 3G ran was 4.2.1. The CPU, capable of 620MHz, was underclocked to 420MHz. It had 128MB of RAM, and at max 16GB of storage. It’s screen resolution was 480x320. It had a 1150 milliamp-hour battery. The cellular spectrum that it’s antenna utilized…I don’t even think any carriers (in North America anyway) still broadcast on those frequencies.Comparatively, the iPhone 6s, the oldest unit Apple still sells….no, let’s go even further back. Apple still supports iOS 11 on the iPhone 5s. Let’s compare the 3G to THAT phone, which is already old by today’s standards.The 5s was released in 2013. Four years ago. It had a DUAL CORE CPU that ran at 1.3GHz. Right there you’re massively out powering the 3G by at least three times, and that’s not counting that it’s a dual core. That CPU gets help from a dedicated GPU as well, so it doesn’t have to handle as much graphically. This lets it be used to make the phone run even smoother (comparatively. I know it’s a sloth compared to an iPhone 8 or a Galaxy S8). It has 1024mb of RAM (also known as 1gb, or 8 times as much as the 3G), that also runs faster than the RAM in the 3G. Storage starts where the 3G ended, at 16GB, but as compresion methods have gotten better, the 16GB on the 5s goes a lot further than the 3G could utilize. The battery on the 5s is slightly bigger at 1560mAh, but again, advances in power management mean this isn’t a linear increase either. The screen is much larger at 640x1136 pixels, capable of displaying much higher quality content than the 3G. Importantly, the 5s is capable of running on virtually any carrier (again in NA, which is where my experience lies).TL;DRHow can you upgrade/update an iPhone 3G? You can’t. It would be like sticking a HEMI motor in a prototype Ford Model T. Put it on a shelf or donate it to a museum, and go buy a modern smartphone. Android or Apple, pick your poison, but try to stick with something that’s less that 5 years old. If you can’t do that…well, they still sell flip phones, don’t they? ;-)
Will I lose my iPhone backup if I update my iTunes?
Okay so I have iTunes 9.2, and iPhone 3G version 3.1.3. I gave it to a guy to jailbreak it, but now it won't open in iTunes because I need to have iTunes version 10.1 or later.

How can I find out if my iPhone is a 3G or 3GS?
All iPhone 3G models have it written at the back of the phone. The initial models of the iPhone 3GS had so written at the back as well. However, the later 8 GB iPhone 3GS model has only "iPhone" written at the back, something that is also applicable for the iPhone 4 and the 4S. This is the easiest and an external method to figure it out.With respect to the software, there are numerous ways to differentiate, some of which are:• Connect to iTunes and know for sure• The multitasking capability of the iPhone 3GS as opposed to the iPhone 3G unless of course, you're running a very old iOS on your iPhone 3GS• The option to upgrade to iOS 5 and above• The overall speed of the phone - the reason that the 3GS is still a relevant phone while the 3G has been stopped
Can I get snapchat and other apps on my iphone 3g?
In a sense you are out of luck. there is a way but it it super complicated requiring to ssh into your device editing files and be jailbroken etc super complicated stuff. There is an easier way if you can find older versions of the ipa files (apps) online. Make sure its compatible with 4.2 or above. Good luck
