No. Sorry. Apple needs to push more sales.
The iPad Mini will be supported because it is shipping right now but no go on the 4s.

iOS 9: iPhone 4S will receive it?

Longer product lifespans push more sales as well. If someone still has a 4s, it's probably for a reason.
According to Mark Gurman from 9to5Mac, both the iPad mini and iPhone 4S will indeed receive iOS 9 http://9to5mac.com/2015/05/22/ios-9...-rootless-security-legacy-iphoneipad-support/
Any chance you can stop going round iOS 9/older device compatibility threads and ranting like a lunatic?
The iPhone 4s released with iOS 5. so it literally got 3 upgrades. i can't see it happening
Why the hate? Its great for those of us on older devices. You realise that the iPad 2 is still the iPad with the largest installed base?
Do you realise that around half of the installed iPads are A5?
iOS 9 is going to be a performance based update, to improve performance.
What does it matter to you? You don't even use an A5 device, according to what you told me in a mother thread.
So?? The 2G and 3G got 2 updates.
The iPad 1 got 2 updates and the iPad 2 has received 4 updates. Apple doesn't a pattern.
I can pretty much say 100 percent that at least the Touch 5 and Mini 1 wil get it.
Fingers crossed for the others. I believe that there have been too many leaks to suggest it is happening for it not to happen, however yes I don't want to get too excited.
ios 9 WILL NOT drop compatibility with iPhone 4S or iPad 2. Bookmark this if you want. I will be right.
The 4S lives on for another year! So does the iPad 2 and iPad mini first gen!
No devices dropped !
No devices dropped !
You were saying? I hate it when people say they know, why not just assume instead?
And you were right! Congrats. Looks like my iPod touch exists for another year.
Awesome!
But anyway I will be thinking of upgrading my ancient iPhone 4S and iPad 3 starting next year.
Great, this is Apple at its best!
An iPhone from 2011 get's the current iOS version for 2015. Nexus 4 from 2012 is already unsupported.
Yet still, all of my friends are complaining about Apple concerning planned obsolescence - couldn't be further from the truth!

It's pre-release software. There is no guarantee that it will be in the public release. Yes, good chance ... but by no means 100%.
Fairly certain that if it was listed in the WWDC slides about iOS 9 in general (not about beta specifically) and appears at Apple's own iOS 9 web site at http://www.apple.com/ios/ios9-preview/ (aimed at the public and not specifically about the beta) it would be a pretty big screw up on their part to not release the final version for the listed devices.
