Yes. It was fast and I was extremely happy with it when I bought it. After the update, its slow.
To spell it out - One code path is fast, one code path is slow. They chose to force the latter upon us, as part of an intentional decision. I wish I could go back to the previous iOS version which was not slow, but Apple, intentionally block that with their DRM. Things which were instantaneous are now sluggish, ruining my experience after spending like 700 dollars. I could have gotten the same experience with an under-powered android phone for $50. Thanks Apple.
>I feel sorry for you.
How sorry do you feel? I mean .. thanks for being condescending and all, but I was just curious.
Geekgench puts the 4S at 282 and the 6S at 2389 on single core performance.
> Higher scores are better, with double the score indicating double the performance.

That would imply that the 4S is running at least 8x slower than the latest hardware.
All you've done is agree with me. What was your point?
I'd say just a small amount. Don't worry, I've gotten over it.
