For the most part, I don't have a problem with IOS 8.1 on my 4S other
than those bugs reported across all devices. The only real time I see a
performance issue is when I pull up complex emails, such as groups I'm
subscribed to through LinkedIn. That being said, I'd recommend waiting a
bit longer for IOS 8.1.1. This is supposed to specifically address some
issues with older devices and hopefully we'll see some fixes to these
VoiceOver bugs all iPhone users are running into.

Hi Christopher,
I have a 4s and have been holding off on updating because, besides the VO bugs,
I have heard that IOS8 is relatively slow and unstable on a 4s. Given what you
said concerning updating, I am assuming that you have not found this to be the
case?

I'm not sure what you're saying below, but if you're saying someone shouldn't
upgrade their iPhone 4S to IOS 8 then I would say that depends. There are new
features in IOS 8 that are supported on the 4S that someone may want to take
advantage of. From following this list, I'm not aware of any bugs I'm seeing on
my 4S that are specific to the 4S. As near as I can tell, I'm hitting the same
bugs everyone else is on all devices. IOS 8.1.1 is also supposed to address
issues on older devices, so that may be the version of IOS 8 to move to,
assuming they also fix some of these VoiceOver bugs. So, I'd agree, if it isn't
broken don't fix it, but if you want to take advantage of features like family
sharing, braille input and so on then go ahead and update at some point.

You're right in that the 8 prefix supercedes the 7 and all other prefixes.
7.1.2 was the last of those and worth sticking with until you feel
comfortable enough to chance 8. That is almost certainly as far as you
should ever take a 4S; and if it's working Ok now and you don't need
more new or updated apps, there's no real reason to update it at all really.

Hi, for the moment I've chosen not to update my 4S to iOS 8. Does that
mean I forego any updates to iOS 7? Are there even such things, or
does Apple stop updating previous operating systems after the new one
has been released?
