Would an iPhone 4 be too slow at this point?

[Eug]

After my wife played around with her friends iPhone 4, she told me that she thought it was fast enough for her and that she wanted one. I ended up getting it at Target, so I was able to get another 5% off with my Red Card.

I installed iOS 7 last night, and I must say I am pretty impressed. It seems to run just fine.

Yup. I was definitely impressed too. Not really appropriate for me, but then again I am the type that wants a 5S. But my wife is happy.

Another thing you can do is go into the General -> Accessibility settings to turn on "Increase Contrast". That turns off transparency which I think should help a little bit in terms of UI performance.

P.S. I posted a video a couple of posts ago of how iOS 7 looks on the 4.
