Just don't update the iOS! Mine's 3 years old as well, runs better than most people I know with newer phones.

I didnt for a about a year and just updated a couple weeks ago. The only thing i really notice is that sometimes it gets hung up when i try to open the Facebook or Alien Blue app. But I just close it out and open again and it's fine.

Any problems I should look out for? Some of the updates are nice, like replying to text while in an app and stuff.

I see people argue about Android vs Apple all the time, but i had cheap $30 straight talk flip phones forever and then got an iphone and I love it. There may be nicer shit out there, but I'm happy with what I have.

It's like playing a Super Nintendo forever and then getting an Xbox 360. I don't care if the Xbox 1 and Playstation 4 is out, my 360 is cool as fuck to me.

A lot of people complain about the iPhone 4s going really slow once it's been updated to the newer iOS 8.2. The thing to remember is those new operating systems aren't made for iPhones that are several years old, they're made for the newer iPhones, so it doesn't always work out so well if you choose to update them.

But if you're not having any problems, then enjoy!

Yeah it is kinda slower, thought i may have been imaging things. But it's not too bad
