Has anyone installed iOS7 on an iPhone 4? If so, how is the performance on it? I ask because the last release for the 3GS made it very slow and was curious if iOS7 slows down the iPhone 4 substantially.

Thanks!
 
This is the first release of the beta and the OS will be laggy and buggy on all devices, not just the iP4.

You will have to wait until the final release when they will smooth out everything. It will probably be a tad slower than 4S/5, but still snappy.
 
The reason I ask is that 6.1.3 has made the iPhone 4 laggy already (restored as new plenty of times). I wouldn't want it to be laggier than it already is. I'm sure others have already installed it and can comment.

On a different note, I've already installed it on my iPhone 5 and have no complaints in terms of responsiveness.

That doesnt answer his question.

I installed it on an old 4 to test. Hard to tell how well it will work as I can't even get 1 app to install and it keeps rebooting.
