I am curious if performance will be enhanced or will it cause additional lag. I'm currently on a 4S.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Public Launch of iOS 7 Set for September 18

Let's be honest, no NFC (to pair with my new Sony NEX), no waterproofing, no wireless charging, no ability to add SD memory or change the battery, same old scratching case and worst of all, same old tidly screen (when most of the market has gone to at least 4.7"). I like the fingerprint sensor and I'll hold reservations on IOS 7, but from a hardware point of view, a failed opportunity to deliver a WOW (a sort of HTC One / Galaxy Note 2 kinda wow!)
How did this happen then?

Guess we didn't have to wait until tonight.
Um, thanks for letting us all know.
It's not just bigger memory addressing, you also get a wider datapath. Certain kinds of 64-bit applications, such as video encoding/decoding, will actually run faster just being 64-bit.
The timing of this is working out well for me. The Galaxy Note 3 arrives on Verizon on Oct 10 and I'll have an upgrade available right around then.... so I'll have a few weeks to test drive iOS 7. That will determine whether I decide to stick it out until a hopefully larger iPhone 6 comes out, or go ahead and switch now.
How is this comment useful? Can't you work out your personal logistics on your own?
Performance is really the key though.
If it turns out by upgrading to iOS7 my iphone5 is slow as molasses, I'll hold out. But Apple ain't getting anymore money from me. I'll just wait until this one dies then shop for a new (most likely Android) phone.
I wonder if x64 really makes that much of a difference. I'll be waiting for some benchmark numbers.

Its not the 64-bit part that would make a difference but the overall upgrade of A7.
No I meant the performance of the same app written in x86 vs x64. A7 obviously would be faster than A6 by itself.
It is, and I'm not updating because I suspect iOS7 will run like a dog with 512mb of RAM.
Terrible battery life
I was running several of the beta versions of iOS7 on my iPhone 5, and the battery life is absolutely terrible. On my iphone 5 running iOS6 I can always go 2 and sometimes even 3 days on one charge. When I loaded iOS7 on there, I NEVER got more than 24 hours and usually I had to charge it every night and take it off charge every morning. By 10 or 11pm I'd be down to less than 30% left.

GTA V comes out on the 17th so I guess the servers won't be overloaded on the 18th with people downloading iOS7.
Can we sort notes alphabetically yet?
