The iPhone 4S and below are completely unusable with iOS 7. Even switching between two apps will require one or the other being evicted/reloaded into memory. That phone is only from ~2011 mind you, and it's clearly become a third-class citizen in its own ecosystem.

Also, it's not as though Apple didn't introduce Siri with the 4S and exclude the 4 from that feature.

The iPhone 4 was released June 2010 and I know people who use iOS 7 with it. Sure, it has hiccups but the point was more about Apple not abandoning the users than about how well older products run the new stuff.

>The iPhone 4S and below are completely unusable with iOS 7. Even switching between two apps will require one or the other being evicted/reloaded into memor I'm running iOS 7 in a iPhone 4 (not even 4S), as do millions of others, and what you are saying is BS. I can even upload a video if you don't believe me.

  I had a 4S with iOS 7 for several months and what you're saying is complete BS. I can upload a video if you don't believe me. Try non-hostility as an initial response in the future.

    >I had a 4S with iOS 7 for several months and what you're saying is complete BS. I can upload a video if you don't believe me. You do understand that "had a 4S with iOS 7 for several months" and "totally unusable" are contradictory, right? I'll have the video, please. >Try non-hostility as an initial response in the future. Well, sorry, I guess. You could also try not generalising from your outlier example.

      Unbelievable levels of narcissistic nitpicking here, I don't even care to have any more conversation with someone possessed of your level of pedantry. I began shooting a video but decided that you can fuck yourself instead, as there's no convincing someone who can be this anal. Probably you'd bitch about the portrait orientation with which I shot it. How do you know you're not the one generalizing from N=1? Why wouldn't I expect that all iPhones have roughly identical performance charcteristics, as one of the highlights of the Apple business model is strict hardware control. Equivalent hardware, ergo equivalent performance on that hardware. Clearly you have been confused by a small amount of hyperbole which, according to votes, many people have had zero problem understanding so far. I imagine life for you being an expanse of loneliness punctuated by moments of extreme confusion. More so than for most, I suppose, just so you can better understand what I'm saying about you.
