I have the I phone 6 and updated it the other day to 8.1 and it has been
problem free. One thing to think about is waiting about a week to do any
updates and researching if there are any bugs first. I don't understand why
people are always in such a rush to go and update their phones if they have
been working just fine.

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.
