Possibly, but not likely. It could be part of the S models getting another year of iOS updates over the preceding non-S models. The discontinuation of iOS updated for an S model has only happened once, because of this it is not possible to define a trend.
Wonderful...
The last update for 4S has killed it for usability.
Always the case. Never install the third major update from the version of iOS that your phone ships with.
Personally I would never go past the second, from painful experience.

Hi,
do you think that iPhone 4S will receive the iOs 9 that Tim Cook has described as an optimization and not an "add feature" release?
I'd have thought it highly unlikely.
Seeing as the iPhone 4S will be four years old this year I can't imagine Apple would wish to continue updating it.
Not only that if iOS 8 performs badly on the device, what's to say iOS 9 will be any different?
When did Tim Cook describe this? Source?
If history is any indication, then no ):
It's more likely to get iOS 9 than iPhone 4 was ever going to get iOS 8, but it's still hard to say.
