iOS 7 on iPhone 4

But maybe I'm just saying that because I'm used to the speed of the iPhone 4S...

I think that's it.
I have played with iOS 7 in an iPhone 4S too, and I can understand your point of view, of course :)

The hardware difference between iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S is noticeable: dual core Vs mono core, and a "9x faster" GPU (it is a lot more powerful indeed). That's why I say for me, is impressive the performance of iOS 7 in iPhone 4.

It had 2 cause you can't use the past for ios 7 cause it's not even released and apple has to release ios 8 in order to say that the iphone 4 had 3 versions: ios 5,6 and 7.

No, it had 3 upgrades. iOS 5, 6, and soon to be 7. You're making absolutely no sense. :confused:

iOS version 4, 5, 6, and 7 all count as versions of iOS for the iPhone 4. iOS 7 doesn't count yet but it will when it's released, for now, the iPhone 4 had 3 different iOS versions and 2 upgrades.
 
I kind of hate the black screen on Notification Center and no transparencies on iPhone 4, it looks old and ugly. iOS 7 is great but maybe it shouldn't support iPhone 4 it doesn't look as nice as it should be. I still think Apple may tweak everything before GM and maybe bring some of those features to it.
 
Will there be any major difference between beta 6 and GM?

If we use 3 rows of icons, ios 7 will not lag so much on 4

Perhaps a dumb question, but when can we expect an OTA update for iOS7? Straight after the presentation? Or will it take a bit still..?

After the presentation, the GM will be available for download for devs, no OTA if you use ios 7 beta and OTA from ios 6 when ios 7.0 will be available on itunes.

On the iPhone 4, iOS 7 has all the fancy UI effects disabled: no dynamic backgrounds, no blurry transparencies, nothing.

Some UI elements are just plain gray such as the dock. This is ridiculous. It looks terrible.

Did anyone find a workaround to enable the UI effects in iOS 7?

It's just about cpu capacity. iphone 3g wasn't support background picture at home screen. It was possible enable with jailbreak, I had tried, but disabled again because of low performance.
 
Don't think i would want to put iOS7 on the Iphone 4 (which i have) knowing that the processor won't support the "fancy" features that make iOS7 look fancy. I will be happy to if I had an iPhone 5 (I will get one eventually) but judging from what people have said it sounds like i0S7 would be pointless on a slower phone. I think the aim here is Apple will give iPhone 4s limited support with the new system. They'd actually want you to upgrade your phone to get better use out of it.
 
When the GM is available tomorrow, I'll say yolo and install it in my 4. It can't be more laggy than it currently is with loads of tweaks and winterboard crap themes etc. and I can't wait to see all the apps updated to iOS7! I'm pretty excited even though I may not get the full iOS7 experience ATM. I will buy new phone soon anyways..

Let me know how it operates. I'm still on the iphone 4 myself and will be for the remainder of the year. :)

Ios7 is beautiful on the Ipad 4 with the fancy features. But my main concern is how laggy it's going to be on the iPhone 4 without the translucency effects and what not.
