The nice thing about the iPhone series is that you can use an older model and not feel left out. I am one of the every other version upgrade types and while with my plan I could replace the phone each time there is an upgrade for no real cost it just never has seemed necessary.

I did swap out of the version 4 simply because my lack of grace meant I had to replace the back glass more than once.

My 4S got unusably slow (with even keystrokes taking ~75ms to register) after the iOS 8 update. How have you avoided such mishaps, which I gather are pretty common when putting newer iOS on older devices?

(Yes, I turned off the fancy stuff like Springboard background parallax. It helped but not enough.)
