iPhone 4 is the oldest iDevice it can be installed on iOS 7 and many users have wondered how well the device will work on the new version of the operating system, considering that iPhone 4 has more than 3 years old hardware. To answer this question, the people from arstechnica they did the video clip above and ran some benchmarks on this device running iOS 6 si iOS 7, and in this article you have all the results. Unfortunately, the results obtained from the tests indicate that the response/opening times of the applications have doubled in some cases, a normal thing for an update of this kind. Notice from the graph below that response times have increased for all applications, including boot time, so you have to make a tough decision before updating to iOS 7.
Separated from iPhone 4, iPhone 4S or iPhone 5 they have a theoretical improvement in performance, but in general you will not feel them as strongly as in the case iPhone 4. From simply opening applications to performing various tasks, browsing the web or using complex functions, iOS 7 should be faster on all terminals released before the terminal iPhone 5S. In the case of the release of each new version of iOS, Apple used to reduce the performance of old terminals to force users to buy new ones, benchmarks show a different thing, but users constantly complain that their devices work more hard.
Having said that, don't forget that today I presented you with an article with a series of recommendations for improving the performance of iOS 7 and it would be good to apply it if necessary. Before concluding, I mention that although in the images you will see that the GM version was used for tests, it is identical to the one offered by Apple through iTunes starting on September 18.
