hi, Just thought I'd chime in here:I now have a six but after upgrading my for S to iOS 8 12, I found that it ran so slowly that when I offered it as a present to my partner, who has an old four, he said "no thanks".he said that it Ranzo so slowly, even with voice-over off because he doesn't have to use it, That he would rather not have the phone at all.so, I think it is fair to say that for some of us, at least, running iOS 8 12 on there for S has made the phone much less responsive and prone to crashing. Thanks, Sandy
