    iPhone 4S still on iOS 8.2 - ruclips.net/video/G6j4hwjdJNA/видео.html
    For those of you with an iPhone 4S- if it works for you, that's great! I'm not saying the 4S is completely unusable, because it's not. But the fact remains that it's much slower on iOS 9 than it should've been, and sticking it with iOS 8 just would've made more sense. That said, I do want to hear what you all think- did iOS 9 kill the 4S?

    Two months ago, I've downgraded from iOS 9.3.5 to iOS 8.4.1 on my 4S, and jailbroke it.
    - Battery life increased in over 300% when the phone is idle (seriously).
    - No more constant hangs on everything.
    - It doesn't start to get excessively hot again.
    - If I want to have an iOS 6/7 experience, all I need to do is open CoolBooter tweak, for dualbooting.
    If you have an 4S, just do it... With caution, of course.

      In fact, there's no android exists that can stay fresh and strong after 1-2 years of heavy use without any factory resets necessary like apple do.

      Same with my power button though my 4s is no longer daily use
      Honestly it seems like a common problem with a 4s that was bought early on. The rest of the phone lasts so long that the power button ends up being pressed more times than it was supposed to be because Apple thinks you'll use the phone for just 2 years then get a new one they didn't anticipate how long the 4s would last. It's a pretty cheap fix I'm just too lazy to go wrenching on a phone I don't regularly use

      Honestly the power button was the only bad part on the 4s and the reason it wore out is because Apple didnt think people would have those phones so long.

      the main reason the 5s got iOS 12 was because iOS 11 was just terrible with bugs and glitches. I think Apple learned from the 4s situation and let the 5s get the bugs fixed before killing the device. All devices using the A7 chip all got iOS 12 and didn't die on iOS 11. The 6s and SE runs so so on iOS 14, but battery life hurts them. I don't know if they will get iOS 15.

      James Costello Actually you should but with caution. Instead of not updating your new iPad, do more research and see if it’s really a good idea to update to the next version. If not, don’t. But you will be more vulnerable to viruses and security bugs. So far I have an iPad Air 2 16GB with iOS 11.2.6 and it works perfectly with no performance drop at all. Just bugs, which is fairly normal.

      The iPad 4 can be downgraded to iOS 8.4.1 using a tool called OdysseusOTA2, if you're at all interested. It involves jailbreaking the iPad 4 on 10.3.3, and then the tool uses OTA blobs (as Apple is still signing iOS 8.4.1 over the air for this device) to restore the iPad to iOS 8.4.1.
      It won't have great app support, but at least it won't be slow as ballz.

  • @SonicSP
    @SonicSP 6 лет назад +3

    One of my issues is Apple doesn’t allow you to downgrade to previous versions (at least beyond a certain point). I would have a lot less issues with their update policies if they allowed you to downgrade more.
    Or at the very least, widen the net of firmware versions that are allowed to include iOS versions of the last few years.
    In fact, I hesitate to update iOS to the newer versions because of this, not until some time have passed (I stayed on 10.3.3 mainly because of the horror stories of iOS 11).

  • @MultiWilliam15
    @MultiWilliam15 6 лет назад +32

    I still own the 4S, and while it's terribly slow, I appreciate the fact that they're trying to make it work in 2018. My take on this is that they shifted their focus from giving the best experience, to just making it functional in the modern day. They did this to compete with low end phones from the android market, which doesn't make perfect sense since they're not really advertising it anymore, and it's been 7 years since its release so that's understandable. But if this device didn't receive the iOS 9 update, it will become as good as a feature phone. This shift in focus is sad, but considering the competitive market today, it's easy to see why they made this move.

    • @anilchandran3954

      lesser old iPhone 5s costs around 200$ dollar here, and it cannot compete android phones at that price

    I have an iPod Touch 5th generation, which has the same A5 chip and 512 mb of RAM as the iPhone 4S, and it runs fine on iOS 9.3.5. The spotlight search, notifications, and control center come up very quickly, as fast a a modern iPhone. The app switcher comes up a fraction of a second later, but that's probably just because of the animation being longer.

    Please don't ramble that much. 10 minutes just to say three things:

    2 - I'm glad it's still supported
    3 - You can downgrade "easily".

    Well damn, I've been using the 4s for the past 4 years and the ipad mini for about 5 years. But while both of them got a decent performance hit with ios 9 I still think they are perfectly usable. Only recently have I started getting problems with apps not being supported, or crashing but I could easily run with them for the next two years at least.
    My one problem is that the 16gb can only handle a page and a half of apps with my music.

    My 4s still works today, the only problems are that it no longer uses a cellular network (because I decided to remove its plan and upgrade to an SE), it’s ability to hold a charge at this point is terrible and it’s got ios 9. This one phone has been with me since 2014, and I still love it.

  • @TheKingOfHalo

    The 4s was my first iPhone and I went through four because of the glass construction. I dropped two and shattered the screens(one from only 10” inches) and the power button on one just stopped working after a month. I still have a 6 and I’m hoping it makes it till fall when a new iPhone comes out. It’s overheating lately.

Must have patience like a saint to use it. But even on an older 3G Sprint connection, it streams music like Rocky Balboa in his prime. LOL. When the SE 2 comes out, that will be my upgrade. And even then, will be using the 4s as a music device. Can't let all those accessories go to waste!

    Dude, you said EXACTLY everything I think about this situation with iPhone 4s. It was my first Apple device and I remember how fast and responsive it was. Great screen, awesome camera. It was like phone from the future.
    Unfortunately Apple killed it with this damn iOS 9 and Apple doesn’t like to admit to mistakes so they left all users without option to downgrade because that would mean they have made a mistake. My 2 last years with this phone were the worst. Now I’m happy user of iPhone 7 plus and I ALWAYS check in the internet before any update. ✌🏼

      @@LaelGames7913 I upgraded from 7 to X this year not because I wanted to I just used an opportunity to do it for free (exchange in my family).
      I can confirm. No slowdowns whatsoever on 7 till May. I’m glad to hear you’re still using 6s. It was one hell of a phone when it came out.💪🏼

    How To Downgrade iPad 3 from iOS 9 to a smoother iOS version ?

    this is why i never update anything
    apple updated my iPad from ios 6 to ios 8 when i sent it in for repairs, and now it is so slow that it is barely usable
    even jailbreaking it didnt completely fix the speed issues
