Hi, I guess it's a matter of opinion. I have a 4s with iOS 7 and find
the iPad like sounds to be a great addition. Also, it's great to see new
features added in iOS which jailbreaking was necessary to get in prior
versions. For example the Control Center. The jailbreak equivalent is SB
Settings, and that gives you a chance to quickly turn on and off certain
things without going into settings. It does more than that, but
basically the control center adds this functionality. The background
monitoring and updating of apps is a great thing because apps like GV
Connect for Google Voice can now alert you of new text messages in your
Google Voice number. Previously you had to use a third-party service
like Boxcar or Push 4.0 to get this functionality. Slower? I don't see
that happening on the 4s. So if you are seeing that on the 5, then
perhaps something is up with your specific phone.
It's an opinion for sure, but I'm actually more excited about iOS 7 than
I was about iOS 6 and iOS 5. I think Apple have done a great job and I'm
certainly not what you would call a Apple fanboy.

personally, i do not recommend updating to IOS7. i did on my iphone 5 and here
is what i dislike about it. i know some may disagree and that is fine.
sometimes people attack you when you dare criticize the GREAT APPLE!
problems i have in IOS7
1. slower. i have noticed on my iphone 5 voice over seems to run slower. it
seems to be more sluggish on speech and flicking through applications. the
phone also takes a half or more of a second to lock when i click the lock
button.
2. voice over sounds are different. on the ipad voice over, voice over would
always make a sound when you flick from different frames or areas on the page.
for example, if you are on an ipad and in the messages application, try
flicking from the message display area down into the text message box where you
type new messages. you do this by flicking right. on the ipad voice over always
made a unique noice indicating that you have gone into a new area of the
screen. the iphone voice over never did this. well, on the new IOS 7 it now
does. this annoying
3. the side switch no longer silences flicking sounds. on IOS 6 the switch
above the volume buttons would silence the clicks made on voice over when one
flicks left or right. on the new IOS7 this switch has no effect on the special
clicks and noises associated with voice over.
4. voice over looses focus. i have noticed, and perhaps it is just me, that
voice over sometimes looses focus on where you were last on the screen. it is
difficult to explain and perhaps i am the only one who has this problem. but,
sometimes when i am flicking right down a page, voice over appears to jump back
to the top or loose focus in some other manner. voice over was always
completely stable in IOS6 and i never had this problem. nor did i ever have
voice over read previously read aloud text at the wrong time when such text was
not being selected and should not have been read. again, difficult to explain.
but, i do not believe voice over is as stable as it used to be
5. finally, i dont see any real feature enhancements. without any real
enhancements i wouldnt update. just my recommendation
