It's an old phone, and Apple's getting ripped for 7 not working that well on it.
They shouldn't have forced the un-removable download on them.

what about the nexus line
That may be true, but in any case it shouldn't be ignored that the iPhone 4 runs the latest iOS and is just as capable as modern flagship phones from Apple and other companies. iPhone 4 competitors from around that time (HTC Desire, Samung Galaxy S) have been dead and buried with their Android 2.3 Gingerbread for a long time now. Even high-end phones released a year after the iPhone 4 are completely irrelevant nowadays.

sorry what does this exactly mean. "just as capable as ..."
lets leave the appearance of the ios out of the debate but what advancements does ios7 bring to iphone4? and then when you factor in that its a slower ios is that worth it?
Nail on head. If you're a fashion victim and simply HAVE to have the latest (and definitely not greatest) o/s running on your phone, even if it absolutely slays the performance...if it somehow makes you feel that you're keeping up with the latest tech, then by all means make iOS7 available for the iPhone4.
However, for goodness sake allow people to revert back to iOS6 when the vast majority of them feel that their phone has become a frustrating to use, severely slow brick.

It doesn't even bring any advancements to my iPhone 5. Wow, Airdrop, something I'll never use. Wow, control centre, a gimmick. I have had to switch off ALL the new iOS7 features along with a raft of old iOS6 features just in order to manage a day's battery life from my phone. Now I understand that some people have apparently perfect battery life with iOS7 but neither me nor my friends are part of this lucky group, so my position is built on experience and not what I've read on the internet.
iphone 4 is the discussion here. i know its hard to figure out given its in the title of the thread.
btw airdrop does not work on iphone 4.
control center decent response. i dont know how i managed without a shortcut to the calculator and clocks app.
You can do everything you can on an iPhone 5S that you can on a 4 (ignoring functionality achieved by hardware the 4 doesn't have).sorry what does this exactly mean. "just as capable as ..."

My comments in relation to the i5 were in context to the discussion, anyone with some sense can see that. I was responding to a previous poster who said that iOS7 doesn't really bring anything (positive) to the i4 and I expanded on that by saying that in my opinion it doesn't bring anything positive to the i5 either. This should help show how little it brings to the i4, which does not even have airdrop/SIRI/transparent dock/parallax etc.
The 'fresh new look aside' MOST people have got a raw deal out of iOS7. If you can live without the new aesthetics, then you can certainly live without the new performance.
there are a lot of good and a lot of bad roms.

I think the ops point is at least apple keeps supporting older devices like the iPhone 4 which is 4 years old
I don't for the life of me understand why people are so desperate to get the 'fresh new look' of iOS7 when it comes with SO many negatives. Hell, it comes with negatives for iPhone5 users, let alone those who own a handset two generations behind that. Perhaps I'm odd in that I value battery life way and above visual gimmicks, or perhaps it's because I'm over 40. Maybe the younger users don't want to be lumbered with an unfashionable and uncool operating system.
talking to anyone and everyone crying and whining about their iPhone 4 being slow. It's like complaining that their car with 250k miles is falling apart. It's an old phone, and Apple's getting ripped for 7 not working that well on it.
People need perspective. It's an ancient phone by today's standards.
