Who Still Uses The 4/4S?

Personally, this is exactly the reason I can easily go back to a 3.5" iPhone assuming one was released with iPhone 6-level hardware. I've been spoiled by the iPad's larger screen that my iPhone has mostly been relegated to simple phone duties and camera. With Continuity and phone and SMS relay, even the phone duties are likely to be handled by the iPad (as front-end client with iPhone as back-end server).
i still use my 4S as a overseas phone (my 5S isnt eligible for unlock yet) i much rather be on my 6 then constantly scrolling down the limited space.
same thing with watching videos.
but whatever floats your boat, not to mention the 4S lags.

Still rocking the 4S. I accidentally installed IOS 8.02 last week. It's a little bit laggy, but still quite usable, and I still get decent battery life.
I've got an iPhone 6 on order though!

Poll would have been nice.
I don't use one at the moment but do know lots of people who still use the 4/4s.
I must say when i had the 4S on ios5/6 it was rock solid.
Sucks that these new updates basically make it a turtle.

My oldest is using an iOS 7 4s, her sisters a 3G (just as a phone, no apps). We have another 4 here, oldest uses it as a touch. The kids have 4th gen touches.
Still a lot of love for the small screen here. I did upgrade from a 4->6 though.
There are a lot of 4/4s size phones in the wild if you go with what I saw at Disney.
Oh and my kids get irked with iOS 7 only stuff, but such I'd life... I will evaluate devices at the end of the year and see where we should go next. I hate replacing their touches just because, since they take great care of them and they are like brand new.

I think your kids will be soon nagging you to let them upgrade since the 4s is going to be slow if she upgrades to ios 8
Oh she hates it on iOS 7, but my dad upgraded it before he passed it to her. She was totally bummed... It's about unusable at times. She's stuck for now though, and she knows it. She is hoping her aunt upgrades so she gets a 5 or 5s passed down. So no worries about her going to 8 (and I traded my 4 in running 6, I knew it suck on 7 so I didn't go there)
As for the ones on the 3G, that is on their dad's plan.... He can upgrade them (they had a flip phone prior). They just use it to text and call him while he wanders the country. If big sister gets an upgrade, I might roll on of the 4s in its place. The battery is shot on it.
