[Electronics-talk] IOS 8 and V.O working with delay

I too have had a VoiceOver and Seri slow down with the update on my
iPhone 4S. I have had this phone for three years now and am overdue
for an upgrade. I have a friend that had a 4S, and was tired of the
problems the latest update did that she went and got the iPhone 6 and
everything works great and fast. I wish they would not let the older
phones and devices upgrade, when they are too old to use the updates.
