If so, did it work well? I have a 4S and it is my primary phone and I know in the past there were issues with the iPhone 4 and iOS 7 so I've been thinking about not updating my phone until a get a new phone within the next month or two. Thanks, David Title Comments Hi everyone, I know the iOS 8 update is set to likely launch in a little under an hour, but I was wondering if anyone tried the final beta version of it on the iPhone 4S.

I'm sure they resolved that though, there would be no way they could do a public release with it being that way. I had to restore my iOS 7.1 after 3 days, and my battery life went back to normal. IOS 8 wasn't a massive change from 7.1... just a few added features, but not a complete overhaul by any means.
