While I understand your frustration, I would quarrel a bit with you calling that iPhone 4 "useless".
Even with the base OS software, you've still got a great music player, a great video player, a multi-function timer/stopwatch/alarm clock, a web browser, a camera, digital maps, a calendar, email, etc.
Main issue is it’s painfully slow if you kept it up to date. I have iPhone 4S running iOS 9. It’s unusable by my standards. It is blazing fast with iOS 6 though. AFAIK it’s possible to break Apple defences and install older OS for this device, but that’s only because of some vulnerabilities and not Apple generosity.
