>which seems to be a very long time in Google terms To be fair, that was during the iPhone 4 period. The iPhone has since gone to the iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, and then iPhone 5s. Many users report an absolutely miserable experience with iOS 7 (and even 6) on the iPhone 4. The mobile industry has moved very, very quickly, and devices are a magnitude more powerful+ than just a couple of years ago. As a developer with an interest in mobile, I've gone through literally seven different smartphone devices in the past three years.

iOS 6.0 was fine, but iOS 7.0 introduced a whole bunch of bugs and inconsistent lag.

My colleague has an iPhone 4, iOS 7 works on it beautifully for him. My iPhone 4S has also not had any issues with iOS 7...

  Interesting since my iPhone 4 has slowed the a crawl with iOS7. Nearly unusable now.

    Have you upgraded to 7.0.3? This seems to help a lot. Also, you may want to try enabling reduced motion in the accessibility settings.

Anyone running iOS version 7.0.3 on the iPhone 4 should definitely enable 'Reduce Motion' in the accessibility settings. It removes the 'fly in' 'fly out' animations for opening folders or apps, and greatly improves performance. Same for the iPad mini.
