Should I update iOS 7 for my iPhone 4?

[mhakhot]

Any one please suggest.
Thank you very much.

I plan on updating my 4, but only after it is officially released and been used by most for awhile .

I don't see any reason not to. Even though the 4 won't see all of the new features that are in iOS 7, I think it will run perfectly well with the update.

Yes

I have a friend that is a developer and he uses a iPhone 4 as his developer phone instead of his daily driver that's a 5. Gotta say iOS 7 on the 4 lags here and there, it is still in beta so we'll see how ironed out it gets.

Yes, it probably won't get all the features of iOS7 but it should be fine.

I did too when I first looked at them. However, they aren't bad once you get used to them. I think they are better now than they were at the announcement of iOS 7.

I hope batterylife is better on os7 with the 4/4s

I didn't like them at first. I guess if we want iOS7 we'll get used to them.

IOS 7 I found ran well on the iPhone 4 but it was quite the power hog and my phone could only be on for 3 hours before it started to run out if charge, this bug should be fixed by the time it will be released fully but at the time stick with 6.1.3 even after the release unless you wanna carry a charger with you at all time.

do we know what features from ios7 will be missing from the 4?

 

[anon7833325]

The iphone 4 would be missing the new multitasking (where it shows previews of the apps) and the new air drop feature. There's a couple other features that the iphone 4 won't get but I can't think of them at the moment.

The features missing in iOS 7 for the iPhone 4 are the filters in camera, panorama view, Siri and AirDrop.

So four more of many Apple apps (Game Centre, Stocks, Weather, Mail, Passbook, Newsstand) I wouldn't use anyway...?

I have an iPhone 4 on Verizon Wireless and I got iOS 7 the minute it was available. Honestly, I wish I hadn't. Not that iOS 7 is horrible, it's different and that isn't a bad thing. But I have noticed that there is more lag now than I had before and I really believe most of the UI and apps are designed to optimally work on iPhone 5, 5C, and 5S displays and not the smaller 4 or 4S displays. My battery doesn't last nearly as long as it did with 6.1.3 and I've done all the recommendations I've read the last few days about optimizing the battery performance. Also, if you use "non-Apple certified" charging cables they will stop working with iOS 7. I had to dig out my original Apple cables to get my phone to be able to charge correctly.

Overall, I think iOS 7 is okay, but wish I had a newer device to run it on.

Yes, upgrading is a good idea. It makes the whole platform better if everyone is on the newest OS. Security reasons as well.
