Report: iOS 9 will be optimized for older devices, including iPhone 4S | Ars Technica: "A new report from the well-sourced 9to5Mac details a handful of features, the most interesting of which is a note about support for older devices. We had assumed that Apple would include support for some devices based on its aging A5 SoC—the fifth-gen iPod Touch, original iPad Mini, and third-gen Apple TV are all still being sold, after all—but the report indicates that we can expect an update for out-of-production devices like the iPhone 4S (the iPad 2 isn't mentioned by name, but the implication is that it will be supported as well)."
This is great news. My currently useless iPad 2 will once again be my friend. I suspect they rolled back the OS to pre-ARC and gained back that 20% performance loss.
