Hi,

While your 4S is too new, there were (non-April-Fool) attempts at 
booting custom OSes on the iPhone 4, original iPad and older devices.

https://github.com/iDroid-Project/openiBoot
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpeniBoot

https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/issues/57

Sadly, this is all very abandoned, there is not much interest in these 
devices.
