The iPhone 4 and iPad 2 aren’t getting any younger and both have received three years of software updates. The iPhone 4 and iPad 2 both started on iOS 4. Apple’s iOS 7.1 update significantly improved iOS 7′s performance on the iPhone 4, it was something singled out in the change log. It doesn’t confirm anything but we think that that was done in preparation for the end of its life.
As you say, the ipad 2 is just about running as smoothly as excepted with ios7. I too wont be upgrading to 8 if i can. And other than novelties i cant see any reason why i should. I think at the moment perhaps Apple and their ios have reached a plateaux?
The next huge innovation will be where things start to motor again.
Apple has just announced that the iPad 2 WILL be getting the iOS 8 update this fall.
Though it would be overly optimistic to expect 'all' the new features to be available, I suspect many of them will be; since most are about interoperability of apps and devices though iCloud and the network rather than hardware intensive services.
