On Monday, Apple launched iOS 8.1.1. Besides the usual bug fixes and security updates, Apple says that the latest build of iOS will speed up two greybeards that are still owned by many, the Apple iPhone 4s and the Apple iPad 2. Earlier updates hit the two devices hard, so it is hoped that iOS 8.1.1 will allow both models to run at a decent speed.
While the update is being sent out OTA, you can try to pull it out of your device by going to Settings > General > Software Update. You might want to make sure you are connected to a Wi-Fi network when installing the update, even if it is lightweight. Also, keep your battery charged to at least 50% to make sure that your phone doesn't turn off before the update is completed.
