Hi, Maybe it depends on your level of expectations, and perception. I thought IOS 6 on an iPhone 4 was slow. I’ve used an iPhone 4 with IOS 7, and found it really, really, slow. haha. I mean, the hardware is three and a half years old, has 512MB of RAM, 1 core, etc. And we are now talking about an OS which was designed with a 64 bit Processor, 1GB of RAM, and 2 cores in mind. How could the iPhone 4 not be slow? Especially with Voiceover. I guess this will be partly determined by what you do with your phone. If you just place calls and text, you probably won’t be too inconvenienced. But keep in mind, My primary device is an iPhone 5 so, I have something for comparison. I honestly think what Pablo complained about before, has little relevance here. Maybe its a bit of the boy who cried wolf? I think the downloading of the OS should be controlled by the auto update feature myself. If you have this turned off, the OS doesn’t get downloaded with out you manually doing so.
And again, This issue doesn’t really bother me. I’m just point out, I’m not the segment of user who is needlessly inconvenienced either.
