The questions in everyone's mind is whether ios7 will slow down iPhone 5 and also will it eat up battery life...
Not sure users on the 5 will experience many speed issues, however 4s users will certainly experience speed issues.

Are you aware of the fact that not everything you say has to end in an exclamation point?
It feels like apple purposely makes them slower on older devices so the device would feel slow and outdated so you would upgrade.
Bingo. It's not really performance related or anything like that, it comes down to a couple of things: duration and interruptibility. The animations are now longer (for no real useful reason) and can't be interrupted (also for no real useful reason). That's really the underlying issue, at least for those to whom something like this matters, which is quite a few people.OMG, I can't comprehend how people don't realize the difference between duration and performance.
Duration is fixed. These animations take the exact same amount of time on every supported device.
Performance/fluidity is different. Older device render these animations at lower framerates, but they always take the se amount of time. Simple.
There's more to it and there are other animations in play as well. The fact that the animations can't be interrupted is another factor too. When compared to iOS 6 you can feel the difference in timing--it's definitely more than just a difference in the animation itself (even if that might be contributing something to it too).I've actually tested the opening/closing app animation speed and it's exactly the same as in iOS 6.
It just seems slower because it's a different animation, I guess.
In the early betas the animation speed was definitely much slower, though.
No matter how much smoother they might be (which is what performance might affect) they will still take as long as they are designed to take, even on the fastest thing out there. The point is that they've been designed to be longer in iOS 7 (mostly for looks it would seem).While watching a video of the 5S, the speed of animations were MUCH faster, probably around 100% as fast. I don't get it, since the 5 is fast enough. I don't think iOS 7 really requires that much power... I'm confused.
So, there must be proof out there of this, right? More than just what people might think simply because it might fit.It feels like apple purposely makes them slower on older devices so the device would feel slow and outdated so you would upgrade.
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1633905/I have an iPhone 4 what is the plan with IOS7? Should I be backing up to I cloud beforehand and then upgrade? Or delay until a few days have passed to iron out bugs?
Also how will it perform for us? I understand we're getting a slimmed down iOS 7.
Any actual evidence that proves any of that, beyond just observations, theories, etc.? Simply throwing in words "fact" or "proved" doesn't suddenly make something a fact or proved. ;-)the truth is that, YES ios7 is slower...... but it's slower because apple wants it to be slower, this os should be fast even in iphone 4, iphone 4 has a powerful and fast processor which should run the os super fast..... apple makes old phones run slower because they want people to buy the new one! #fact and #proved
I can't believe my iphone 5 runs this slow with this new ios, some apps stay freezed for about a second before they open the animation to open the app, when going from portrait to landscape 'keyboard activated' the screen runs in slo-mo dropping frames and lagging....... so we can now sadly say 'we have an android skinned iOS running in our iphones'
if iphone 5c runs as slow as our iphone 5, we should make apple exchange our faulty iphone 5..... cause hey, they say iphone 5c is the same phone as iphone 5!
