Any user here installed iOS 7 beta 2 on iPhone 4?
How is the performance ?
 
Inb4 iPhone 4 totally sucks on beta 2.

My iPhone 4S, even though I restored as new in b2, sometimes it just works too slowly, and very hot, so...

I know 4 & 4S are totally different devices, BUT my 4S totally sucks on b2, I expect in September that both phones work acceptably good, having the 4S a better performance.
 
I have an iPhone 4 on iOS 7 b2 and it's not too bad. There are definitely times I want to throw my phone out the window, but what do you expect on beta versions? Parallax wallpapers don't work because Apple didn't include them for the iPhone 4. It doesn't bother me; I could care less personally. I've noticed that Control Center is completely transparent (aside from the frosty look).

Notification Center is just plain black.

Whereas on the iPhone 5 (and maybe iPhone 4S, I'm not sure) it has a blur effect.

One of the bugs that drives me crazy is the status bar. When on the home screen where the text should be white, it turns black where you can't read it.

Also, the status bar doesn't rotate when you rotate (kind of).

Notice the two status bars.

With it being a beta version you can expect some apps to not work. Here is a list of apps that I've noticed not working properly:
- Instagram (when posting)
- Vine
- Google Search (when viewing pictures)
- Snapchat
- Real Piano
- Aviary
- Whitagram
- Squaready
