Interesting to see so many people are still using an iPhone 4s. I recently lost my 4s on a night out, but until that happened, I had no desire to upgrade, as it did everything I needed.

I suspect there's a lot of people like me who don't use their phones for 3D gaming, or other intensive tasks, so just have no need for a faster phone.

The only reason I've now upgraded to a 5s is because I couldn't buy a new 4s with more than 8 GB storage. Can't see myself upgrading from the 5s any time soon.

Same here. Got a 5S because I gave my mum the 4S. The only feature that makes any difference is the fingerprint scanner.

Still using a 1st gen iPad here. No reason to change it, as most sites work fine. Exceptions are js-loaded sites with huge assets, e.g. FB, Qz, Medium; these crash the browser, but frankly take long enough to load that I usually hit back anyway.

Out of interest, is iOS8 now stable enough now?

A couple of weeks ago the situation still seemed a little dire: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/ios-8-problems/

8.1.1 beta was released to developers a few days ago. More fixes for the bugs in the pipeline.
