Hi Carol.
The iPhone 4S will be able to get the upgrade to IOS 8, though there may be some limitations in the features available due to the phone's older hardware. 

All the best, Ibrahim.

I'm wondering also, Richard. I love my iPhone 4S but now I have to decide
whether to upgrade or buy something else because I think the IOS for the 4S
is not to be upgraded any further.  The TellOrion is a bit of a temptation
to me because the one thing I really do not like is having to use the iPhone
in crowded, noisy places.  (I'm not a great fan of earphones all the time.)
The other rather annoying problem is that in recent versions it has become
harder to answer and/or end a call and this is just getting to me, because
that's what a phone must do!

Other that these niggles though, I love my iPhone for a number of apps and
reading!

Does the iPhone 4S remain compatible or is this also now defunct?
If so, then this is yet another reason for me to seriously consider android come September

Will your machine be able to run iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite?
Now that we have a general idea of what exciting new features will be hitting iOS and OS X devices this fall with the release of iOS 8 and Yosemite, there is one important question left to ask: can my machine run those latest versions of Apple's operating systems? If you're worried about the possible obsolescence of your devices, you're in luck -- we have the answers for you.
If your Apple computer was able to run OS X Mavericks, you will also be able to upgrade to OS X Yosemite. Both operating systems share the same system requirements: 2 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage. Here is the full list of compatible models: 

iMac: mid-2007 or newer
MacBook Pro: mid-2007 or newer
MacBook Air: late 2008 or newer
Mac mini: early 2009 or newer
Mac Pro: early 2008 or newer
MacBook: late 2008 aluminum, early 2009 or newer
Xserve: early 2009
If you're an iOS user, you most likely don't need to worry. Every modern iOS device can run iOS 8. For the iPhone, these are the models that will still be supported when 8 launches. In addition, the iPod touch 5th generation will also be supported.
This is only bad news if you're still using the iPhone 4. While this is sure to disappoint some users, try to keep in mind that the iPhone 4 came out on June 7, 2010. It's remarkable that it took four years for the iPhone 4 finally be phased out of iOS updates. Show me an Android phone with that life span.
On the iPad front things are staying largely the same. If your iPad could run iOS 6 or 7, you'll still be able to run iOS 8.
First-generation iPad owners are out of luck, but everyone else is in exactly the same spot they were previously.
So don't worry, faithful Apple users; almost all of us will be getting a nice update this fall. Let's have a moment of silence for the faithful iPhone 4. It has served the community well, and it's time for it to enjoy a nice retirement.
