You will most likely have to update as I'm sure they had a pretty big stockpile of 4's. Of course it may come with 6.... I got a refurb a bit ago and it had 5.1.1.
Got an iPhone 4 last Wednesday with iOS 5 installed. 8gb black from apple.com.
I'm curious as to your reason for buying a 8GB iPhone 4 now. Why did you buy it instead of the 16GB 4S?
My new 4S came with 5.1.1 (thankfully). I see no reason whatsoever to put iOS6 on it.Would you guys recommend installing ios 6 on it? Or does iOS 6 really kill the battery life?
