iPhone 4S with iOS 8

I just wiped my 4s and gave it to my mother, but prior to that, calls to my 4s would show up on all my iOS8 devices and Yosemite.
I could make calls from my laptop and iPad.
Now, I don't know if I could hand off an ongoing all to another device. I didn't test it. But I definitely used my mac to make and answer calls from my 4s.
After running beta 5 for 24 hours, notified that it's fine. Only a couple of apps that do not work.
Here is my video, ios 8 on 4s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NsNUfBYOQ0&list=UU8iRwwqR5foheeJooWQP69Q
No, definitely not as bad as the iphone 4 and yeah, increase contrast makes the lag go away but that shade of grey on the dock is really ugly. I will just keep my 4s on 7.
Yeah its annoying they changed the dock and folder colours changed to that weird shade with iOS 7.1 :/
I wish I knew how iOS 8 ran on an iPad 2

Even my retina mini lags on ios 8 so...
Just updated the phone to iOS 8 GM. Launch week 32 gig iPhone 4s.
Responsiveness-wise it is same as 7.1.2. No complaints what so ever.(of course I wouldn't call it blazing fast but my 3G wasn't even usable after it was 2.5 years old) Only thing I noticed thus far is the battery drain increase. I'll find out more about it as time progresses. iPhone 4S still is the best phone ever made by Apple although I probably will upgrade to 6.
BTW I can't believe people are reporting extreme lag issues etc. Was my 4S' build quality the best did it get the best thermal core out of foxconn or what?
>> knocks on wood.

So are you suggesting I got numb to my phone's slowness over the course of 3 years? May be... Maybe I'll be amazed at how fast iPhone 6 will be but honestly I just don't get how an extra half a second to launch an app improves my life. Back when my 3G was due a refresh opening an app took sometimes more than 30 seconds. Now, if I didn't want extra features and could just settle with whatsapp, instagram, snapchat, phone and camera features or if I couldn't afford a new iPhone I definitely see myself using the 4S til 6S comes out.
As always; full restore + set up as new iPhone = the best experience.
There was a little lag at first because I was downloading all my apps, all my songs and all my photos at once but once it finished, everything was as smooth as 7.1.2! Green light from me, guys, update!
