Sorry if I'm a little all over the place with this...
So, I've been holding out longer than most. For a while it was just to avoid the hassle of getting everything backed up and set up the way I like. I was content feature wise, but so few apps are compatible now that I think I have to finally make the jump to something newer. I haven't kept up with the scene in years so I'm not even sure where to start. Which version would you guys suggest I go to for an iphone 4?
Like a lot of people I can't stand the flat look, lack of contrast and neon colors of ios 7. With enough tweaks I figure I might be able to look past that, but its hard to say having not used it for long other than a few mins at kiosks. I'd be willing to give it a shot, I'm just afraid of not being able to downgrade back.
How close can I get to the old look and feel on ios 7 and later by the way? How much will I be loosing? Is it mainly just the Google maps app? The built in youtube app I couldn't care less about, but I'm sure there are other smaller things right? I heard something about the autocorrect being more annoying? How so? Is that fixable?
I don't know everything that's changed over the years. What about the performance? For a while I was hearing the latest ios versions run slower than older firmwares on iphone 4, is this still the case? Or would I actually see a noticeable speed boost?
