iOS7 and iPhone 4, any takers?

It looked slow on a colleague's 4 today but fine on another's 4S. Seems good on my Ipad2 so far.
 
only one think making me waver - to maybe go back to IOS6

and thats - multitasking doesn't seem to work as well

so I used to listen to Spotify, and browse the internet etc etc with it in background with no stutters etc - now I'm getting breaks in my music etc :( must be the added overhead of the new OS, animations etc
 
I've gone back to IOS 6

whilst I found IOS 7 to be quite smooth - the following annoyed me:

(1) Podcasts unable to be downloaded/synced from Itunes ( I like watching from Itunes on PC and on Iphone)

(2) Battery life seemed noticeably worse after testing further tonight

(3) Multitasking not working as well (music stuttering background etc)

(4) unable to access Podcasts via "music" and "video" - use smart playlists to organise them etc

no. 1 was a big one for me

I can always go back to IOS 7 when things patched
 
yup Iphone 4 (GSM) - was the right one for my '4 - an original 32gb Iphone 4

I think the CDMA is the non-UK model

and I think the GSM/2012 was the 8gb Iphone 4 that came out as a base model with the Iphone 4s

I think anyway
 
I put IOS 7 onto my iphone 4, it was already slow as **** with IOS 6 and putting IOS 7 on has possibly made it a tiny bit slower but i much prefer it. It's given an old phone a new lease of life
 
I'll update it tonight and if I don't like it it looks to be fairly easy to go back. One thing I couldn't find online is if it is possible to take a copy of my current iOS 6.1.3 (not a iPhone backup) and use that if I want to go back instead of downloading one from the internet (kinda of like you can do with GPUz on a graphics card before a bios flash)?

"You have to upgrade to iTunes 11 to use iOS7"

No thanks CrApple.

Time to get a non-Nazi phone.

Oh grow up :rolleyes:

You don't have to use iTunes at all to use an iOS 7 device. Just if you do want to, then it has to be 11.1 in order to be compatible, which is perfectly reasonable. I suppose you expect iOS 7 devices to work with Windows 95 too?

Growing up has got nothing to do with it.

I've always backed up my phone, transferred music and managed podcasts through iTunes. So yes I do have to use iTunes. Because I want to.

Win 95 is an irrelevant argument at so many levels, your talking about a product that existed nearly 10 years ago. iTunes 11 has only been around for 6 moths to a year? You think it's reasonable to write off updates to a device after 6 months?
 
It might seem like it but I'm pretty sick of being dictated to as to how I use my phone. I could muster up a significant list of things that Apple have implemented with no discrepancy but I don't really need to justify myself here as it's fairly friggin obvious.

That said it's still the best of a bad bunch; W8 phones are dire, Android lacks some really important apps for me (Logmein for one), I've not tried BB's offerings or Sony's new phones (I hope they don't run an android flavour) but I'm tempted now.
 
I have in problems at all all on my 32gig iphone 4, using iOS 7. So I don't know how others have. It's very quick and just as quick as iOS 6 which ran flawlessly. I can only assume there are different revisions of same phone. One problem I have come across is much reduced battery life, I've posted in the other main thread about this. Disabled a few things, will see how it goes. But speeds not a problem.
