The iPhone 4 is slow indeed but not so slow that it's unusable. Am
looking forward to my upgrade as I know that will run tons better under
iOS 7.

Well, I just have a complain about Ios 7. It makes my iPhone 4, a old
iPhone of 16Gb, a little bit slow. Also, some times I try to open apps,
and they just doesn't open, and I guess is it because the Ios 7 is too
heavy for the processor of my old iPhone 4.
But in my iPhone 5, it works much better, and the slow thing that I
feel in my iPhone 4, is imperceptible. Also, the last update, fixed the
issue that I had with the time, or it is that I am feeling so far. Also
I have to say that Ios 7 brought many new things, things that will be
so helpful for us using voice over, and every body who uses Ios 7.

Hi Mary and others,
I didn't even know about the claim you can't edit first and last name.
So, I
just tried it and yes, it appears that once I double tap on First or Last
Name, I can't flick up and down with rotor set to characters and
review the
name. However, I just tried the Delete key and I could delete the name
without any difficulties and type it in again.
I would also classify this as extremely low on the list of important bugs
because once you have a contact added, how often do you have to
actually go
in and edit the first and last name. I am not saying it shouldn't be
fixed,
but it's certainly not a dealbreaker.
As far as all of the other issues, well, I don't want to sound smug or
condescending, but I have been running iOS 7 since Beta 5 in mid
August and
first of all I don't think there are any more bugs than there were
when iOS
5 or iOS 6 was released. Second, a fair number of the things people
report I
for one either can't reproduce or if I can I can easily find a
work-around.
Lastly, if as Raul also pointed out, people on here read the messages and
followed the advice many of us are giving, list traffic would I think
be at
least 30% or more lower. I don't know how often I have seen messages
about
where the Delete button on the Phone keypad has gone or how can I get
rid of
the extra characters popping up on the keyboard if I hold my finger on a
letter too long. I could come up with numerous other examples and if
somebody took the time to condense these thousands of messages since
the iOS
7 update into a list of actual bugs along with any potential
work-arounds I
still hold that iOS 7 is probably the update with the least problems
and the
best new feature set.
Another huge chunk of messages deals with complaints about how the old
notification center was better than the new, how people don't like or do
like the new app switcher and stuff like that.
Maybe you wonder what that has to do with the fact that many on the list
feel iOS 7 is a complete let down by Apple and a huge step backward in
accessibility. What I think it has to do with that is perception.
People are
overwhelmed with hundreds of messages each day, many are complaints
about 2
or 3 things or repeats about a few bugs. One person posted that he better
wait with the upgrade because such a huge jump in list traffic can
only mean
there are lots of problems. If you go back, however, and look at list
traffic right after the iOS 4, 5 and 6 update there was just such a
spike.
For iOS 4 and 5 it may have seemed less because there were way less
people
on the list at that point.
In short I feel that there is absolutely no reason why somebody who
has an
iPhone 4, 4S or 5 shouldn't upgrade. Yes, I know people say iOS 7 is
sluggish on the iPhone 4 and even the 4S, a few even say this about
the 5. I
do have a 4S right now and I don't see it, maybe when you open an app for
the first time it takes a second or 2 longer, but when I navigate my
phone,
type or activate buttons and items like an alert in the Notification
Center
my 4S does things just as snappily as before. I also heard from enough
people who have the iPhone 4 that iOS 7 performs very well, so I conclude
that if somebody has issues it's maybe because they upgraded without
bothering to empty the app switcher and do a restart and things are just
bogged down. It should be fairly common sense that one should not perform
any major updates without doing a backup first and then making sure to
close
out open apps. If I install the monthly Windows updates I don't do so
while
I have 6 programs open. My advice is that if your device is sluggish,
do a
restore and redo the upgrade but this time close your apps and reset the
phone first before you hook it up to iTunes and do that. Then after the
upgrade, power the phone off again, wait 30 seconds and restart it. My
guess
is that you will find a vastly improved experience waiting.
Regards,
Sieghard
