Can I update to iOS 7 still?

[iMore Question]

I have heard iOS 8 is no good on 4s. Am still using iOS 6. Didn't update when 7 was ready but now I want it.

To help your 4s run as smooth as possible, try these suggestions.
1. Leave 20% or more of your internal storage space free. This helps to not constrain the system.
2. Get rid of unnecessary features. Yeah, some are cool, but they will bog down an older model phone.
3. Disable transparency effects. Toggle on "Increase Transparency" in Accessibility.
4. Toggle off "Background App Refresh".
Good luck.
