I find iOS8 fine on my 4S. It's certainly nothing like the fiasco that was iOS4 on the iPhone 3G. I imagine this'll be the last year the 4S is supported by Apple, and given I'll have had it for 4 years by the time iOS9 drops I think I'm OK with that. I'd rather take the slight performance hit and benefit from iOS8 features (Notification Centre widgets is a big one for me).
Incidentally, I am having some copy/paste issues in iOS8, in that copying text to the clapboard frequently doesn't work. Hopefully there'll be a bug fix in the next patch release.”

Not figured out the YouTube workaround yet.




Glad it's mostly working fine for you, and I hope your bug is sorted out too.
