Hi, Yeah.
I pointed out most of what you mentioned below. But, being able to work with something doesn’t mean that it will work well. I mean, I remember Windows XP minimum requirements were a joke. Maybe, you could get a machine running with Microsofts posted minimum requirements but, I doubt it would be a fun experience. Throw in a screen reader on top? You have a disaster on your hands. lol. Of course, its not to this extreme with an iPhone 4 running IOS 7 but, I think we might be a bit delusional if we think the performance won’t degrade with IOS 7. And keep in mind, the 4S was the first dual core variant of the iPhone. So even your 4S has a distinct advantage over an iPhone 4.
