10 Things to Know About the iPhone 4s iOS 8.4.1 Update
iPhone 4s iOS 9 Release Date | |||||||||||
The iPhone 4s will be getting an iOS 9 update later this year. This is its fourth major iOS update and it will allow iPhone 4s users to hold onto their phone for awhile longer. Apple hasn't outlined a specific iOS 9 release date but thanks to iPhone 6s rumors, we know when iPhone 4s users can expect it. The iPhone 6s launch date is rumored for September 9th which means that we should see iOS 9 and its release date arrive on stage that day. And with the iPhone 6s release date rumored for September 18th and September 25th, we should see the iOS 9 release date land in September. Typically, iOS release dates land a couple of days before the iPhone so the iOS 9 release date could be September 16th. That's not confirmed but that's the date we'd circle on the calendar if you're interested in making the move from iOS 8 or below. | |||||||||||

Who still uses an iPhone 4S? And, more importantly why? It’s a relic.

I do own a 4S, bought it new two years ago at my phone operator shop and it still work fine for how I use it. I don’t see any reason to switch to a newer device as this one works and provides me what I need… so don’t be so haughty and spoiled, not everyone need the finest new stuff to show off ;)

I agree, I own an iphone 4s as well and it still works perfect.

I use one too. It was a great phone until iOS 8 made it so slow you could watch text you typed play back like slow motion video, WiFi drop out routinely, and its own built-in apps crash regularly. You know, the real demanding, cutting edge functions like email, and text messaging . Yeah. The same features I should’ve guessed I’d need the latest, greatest, $700 phone to accomplish.

Me too. If we all throw away our phones just to get the newest one as soon as it’s released, how do you think it’s gonna end?

I bought a 4s because I actually prefer the shape to the others – ie it’s not a long letterbox shape and the side profile is more distinctive.

I use a 4s. Why is it imperative to replace something that’s working fine? You’re obviously under 30 years old.

Please consider the relevance of the move to IOS 9 from IOS 7.1 in your next updates, not only from IOS 8. And thank you !

I like the haughty and spoiled. They are happy to sell their old “relics” for very reasonable prices! Thank you for your obsession with the newest and the best. Keep it up!

Exactly! you are so right! I got my 4s for free from a relative who upgraded and the 4s still works great! Also grabbing the “relics” still looking sharp and very cheap from the obsessed to upgrade ones on ebay is a lot of fun!

Apple loves the haughty and spoiled, too! The rest of us peons with year+ old phones? Not so much.

I use mine as an iPod for my car so if it gets stolen, it isn’t a big loss

What is the latest version for I phone 4s??

I think we should be given the option to revert to older iOS. I don’t like to spend high bucks and be restricted to frequent updates. It’s not what I purchased and most of all I find updates mess up with my provider causing nonsense and slowing it down instead rather than fixes.

Has anyone downloaded 8.4.1 onto their 4s and noticed your phone slow down a lot?

The 4s is the first smart phone I ever had. I still have it it but won’t update from version 8.4 after hearing about all these problems people are having with 9.2. I will upgrade my phone at some point but don’t like feeling like Apple is doing this intentionally just to get people to buy phones. I like iPhone but won’t forget there are options.
