the iPhone Upgrade, the Samsung Sim, and a problem for the First World

The odd tale of the iPhone and the unused Samsung Sim...A First World issue:'A' had an iPhone 4, and when her daughter 'B' updated her iPhone 5 in China to an iPhone 6, 'B' gave her iPhone 5 to her mother 'A' . 
'A' liked her iPhone 4 very much, so she gave the Chinese iPhone 5 to 'C'.
'C' used the iPhone 5 for sometime and then dropped and broke it.
'C' then replaced the iPhone 5 with a Samsung Tablet which had a phone in it...the Samsung also came with an additional phone number Sim which was not needed.
Then 'A's iPhone4 got a message from the Apple people asking if she wished to download an upgrade for the iPhone 4. 'A' said yes and thus the download happened.
As the download happened, the iPhone 4 grew very hot and lost all consciousness altogether half way through, and, apparently, died.
'A' then went to the iPhone experts who said 'It's dead, all that is in it is lost. It has done its dash.'
So 'A' went to the phone company and they also said the iPhone 4 was kaput.
So 'A' in company with 'B' thought that 'A' needed a new iPhone and so they bought an iPhone 6S for 'A', this being the only, and the most expensive, one they had...and transferred the Sim card.
So 'A' and 'B' brought the shiny new iPhone 6S home...charged it up, and it works just fine.
It was an unfortunate and yet necessary acquisition. If the beloved iPhone 4 had lasted a good and happy 4 years, perhaps the iPhone 6S would be even better...seeking the positive view.
Meanwhile, 'A' noticed that the iPhone 4 had come back to life, upgraded, fully regenerating itself, although now had no Sim card.
'C' started thinking...well, if I can put the unused Samsung sim with the new other number into the newly rejuvenated iPhone 4...but all of a sudden his consciousness asked him if he wanted to upgrade his mind,
He said 'yes' and his brain grew very hot and he lost consciousness and his mind went blank. He had done his dash.
