The short answer is that it depends. If you have a 3GS, you will not be able to get the new operating system without upgrading your phone. If you have a four or four ass, there is a possibility that all the features of the new operating system may not work on your phone. We will need to hear from Apple on this as the release of the operating system comes closer. I wouldn't make any hasty decisions on your phone until you have seen that information from Apple which should be available very close to the release date of the operating system. I hope this helps.
