I upgraded my ipad 4 to iOS 7 about two wks after it came out. I didn't have Internet then. The wait at the bookstore was long when it first came out. I waited two wks and the wait was down to 20 min. Wen it came out, it was 2 hrs no joke.
Anyway, my 4 was really fast and great on ios7. It was perfect. I sold it ydy as I got an Air last week. I still feel weird selling something that was in perfect condition and flawless. That never happened before. I always run my computers right into the ground. Definitely my Macintosh from 1984 which I sold to a pawn shop for a hundred bucks in 1994. Possibly a mistake in retrospect. It was in great shape.
Then I had a powerbook 520 c which I played tons of marathon on. The bungie game. I bought it for $2500 in aug of 1995 but eleven months later the manager of Office Depot let me return it for the then price of $1400. Which I appreciated.
Anyway, I always used all my computers for a long time but apple innovates so much it is hard to resist major advances like lighter weight and thinness, ease of use, looks. I have noticed one thing though, that was better on 4. On my air, I can feel the music and it's vibration and I don't think I like that. It feels flimsy. On my 4 it felt very solid and like the music was completely electronic

IOS 7 on iPad 4
I updated my iPad 4 to IOS 7 the first day it was available. Battery is as good as IOS 6, I haven't noticed a difference in the usage and standby.
IOS 7 seems faster than IOS 6. I upgraded over the air (wifi) and took maybe 30 minutes start to finish.
However, each device is different. Chances are you won't have a problem. Post back and let us know your results.

2 hours is a good deal to me. I have an iPhone 4 and home wifi 2.5 megabyte download (best I can get at my house) and it took 4 hours I downloaded it 2 hours after it came out cuz I couldn't wait I looked at iOS 7 on apples web site and YouTube for at LEAST 45 minutes a day starting June 10th. I just like the way it looks and I wasn't waiting for anything. 4 hours!
Don't upgrade until at least 7.1 is released. As it stands, iOS 7 is buggy even on the latest hardware. Previous generation iPads would be even worse.
