The latest iOS available for the iPhone 4 is iOS 7.1.2. Apple Music application is available for iOS 8.4 or higher, which means you are not able to download and install Apple Music on iPhone 4. Someone may find other music programs to replace Apple Music. Instead, someone sticks to install Apple Music on phones. What they can do to enjoy Apple Music songs on iPhones 4. Rather than taking a risk to upgrade iOS 8.4 on iPhone 4, it would be better to see if there is a program to help you unlock Apple Music from DRM protection. To be honest, the latter solution comes easier.
