I understand the point of the video but I don’t think there would be a lot of people with a 4s these days. It would have been interesting to have an iPhone 6 running the latest IOS in this video as a comparison.

It would likely be the same to a lesser extent. 4S was probably used to really highlight the difference.

Understood. iOS 9 might be slower on a fancy iPhone 6 but not that much slower. Hope they do focus on improving the overall speed at some point.
