iPhone 4S and latest operating system upgrade

[DSMeyer]

Anyone having serious lag issues with keyboard texting or forum posting?

Yes! My iPhone 4 sucks with IOS 7. Apps are slow, typing lags, network is slower. The only good thing about it is the improved camera. One of my sons is coming over today to help me roll it back to IOS 6.

Glad I'm kinda slow to update! I'm still using the last version of the iOS. So no new problems for me. I'll wait for the next version and see if that fixes the glitches, and what new glitches are in store.

My wife's 4S is running fine with iOS7.

I only put it on my 4 when I was doing a system restore before selling it, so I have no real feedback on how it works with that hardware.

It's great on the 5S, though.

Yes lots of lag and app crashing issues overall on the 4S. So far for me it's intermittent enough for me ignore though.

It sucks on the 5 too, especially the battery life!

Same here. I'm also not the world's fastest texter/operator, so the lag is not so apparent. No crashing as of yet.

Turn off the background App refresh and the Apple Store auto download of updates. This is supposed to help.

Glad I'm still on IOS 5.1.1

You are one of the smart ones. I forgot rule #745, "Wait for the dust to settle before installing an update."

Good luck with that. Apple stopped signing versions of iOS 6, so there is no easy way to downgrade.

This is why I have yet to upgrade my 4s. It works great under 6.0, so I see no compelling reason to move to 7.0 until I know that it's stable and efficient.

Ok. Thought the phone was taking a dump. Gotta live technology, just when it gets good it bends you over. I'll try and shut off some auto features to see if that helps.

Isn't it true that once upgrading it is hard to downgrade? I'm still using ios6 and have no plans to upgrade so far...but I have that annoying red "1" notification on my settings icon that won't go away

Read the article that I linked to above.

Apple has already stopped signing iOS 6, so once you move to 7, you are stuck with 7.

Me, along with several other iPhone 4S users have experience the inability to use wifi on our phones. This all began after the newest update, I never had this issue before. If this problem persists I will never buy another iPhone.

So since I am not one of those hip technology people who feel the need to have the newest and greatest iPhone, Apple now ****s up your old phone so you need to buy a new one? this is bull ****.
