iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0.1

[anon(153966)]

Curious; those with the iPhone 5, does 7.0.1 seem to work flawlessly?

I was wondering about buying a iPhone 5, 32GB and loading iOS 7.0.1 on it. I'm guessing the speed of the OS on the device would be the same as an iPhone 5c, no?

Share your thoughts.

Lol why corrupt an iPhone 5 with iOS 7?

iOS 6 is faster than iOS 7 after all.

My iPhone 5 worked well with iOS 7.0.1 installed and it is still working well running iOS 7.0.2. As for the speed comparison, I would say that it should be about the same...

I guess what I'm really asking is, if me getting an iPhone 5, versus my current iPhone 5c would be better. The wait times for an iPhone 5s is ridiculous currently...

If you currently have a 5C there's no reason to get a 5 unless you really prefer the metal/glass aesthetic to the colorful one of the 5C. 5C has better front camera, slightly higher battery and supports more LTE bands.

I have my 4S with iOS 6 and apps open quicker than on my 5S. Not all apps though.

iOS 7 is different, it has a flow then opens the app where iOS 6 just opens the app.

More transitions in iOS 7 as oppose to iOS 6.

The iPhone 5c and the iPhone 5 have the exact same specs. Only difference is the battery and colour mate. It should run the same on both devices

Seeing as there should be no difference in performance between the 5 & 5C, and you already have one of them.
Hold onto it, enjoy it while you wait, and get a 5S.

That's what I'd do.

Let me try and tempt the geek in you.
Latest and greatest.
Top of the line.
Superior performance.
Better camera.

I feel like you just dislike iOS 7. I have seen you say that numerous times.

I love iOS 7. As I have stated numerous times. But yeah, I'm super excited for iOS 7 jailbreak. That's gonna be awesome.

One question though.

The phone and messages app color don't bother you at all?

Honestly, not really. Could they be a little less vibrant? Sure. But I don't mind the look of the icons. I think they should have made the FaceTime icon some other color. that's too much green.

I'm sure any guy that updated is looking at the neon green icons and saying what the hell?
