iOS 7 initially ran a bit slow on the iPhone 4, but without looking this up I believe the iPhone 4 has the A4 chip which is a single core chip and the A5 chip in the 4S is a dual core chip. Also, one should add that iOS 7.1 when it was released runs a lot better on the iPhone 4 so I don't think one should automatically assume that iOS 8 will run slow on the 4S. Yes, it will be missing some features which require the newer hardware of the iPhone 5S and 5C (and of course the various iPhone 6 models), but that is nothing new. One should also not forget that it is pretty nice that Apple supports devices which are 4 years old with their latest iOS version.

I remember running iOS 7 on the 4 I once had and it ran ok although was slow in places.

No word yet on how well (usually, new iOS releases have some problem or other on older iPhones) but it is supported. I recommend you wait a few days after the release to see how it works for others' phones before upgrading. > On Jul 2, 2014, at 9:15 AM, Rebecca Ilniski <rilni...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Will this work on an IPhone 4S or will I be forced to upgrade to a 5S? >> >> -- >> Rebecca and Zeb >> email: rilni...@gmail.com >> twitter: zebs_mom >> >> -- >> The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
