I know the first versions of iOS 8 on the 4S were very sluggish. As of 8.2, though, it has improved quite a bit. However, I certainly don't want you to upgrade if you are not certain about it. If you are fine at 7, by all means, stay there and deal with 8 when you upgrade the phone model. Take Care John D.
