The conspiracy theorist voice in my head says this isn't a coincidence. hahaha. Let's say that optimizing the new OS to an old hardware might not be one of Apple's priorities. This being said, the OS gets more complex over time and more graphical features are added so I can not run just as smoothly as it does on a new terminal. Android is a particular case. It has been designed to run on any hardware and recent iterations of the OS are focusing on making it run on low end devices, so there are good chances that it will run relatively well on a Nexus 4.
